Coalitions Among Computationally Bounded Agents
This paper analyzes coalitions among self interested agents that need to solve combinatorial optimization problems to operate e ciently in the world By colluding coordinating their actions by solving a joint optimization prob lem the agents can sometimes save costs compared to operating individually A model of bounded rationality is adopted where computation resources are costly It is not worth...
متن کاملRisk-Bounded Formation of Fuzzy Coalitions Among Service Agents
Cooperative autonomous agents form coalitions in order to share and combine resources and services to efficiently respond to market demands. With the variety of resources and services provided online today, there is a need for stable and flexible techniques to support the automation of agent coalition formation in this context. This paper describes an approach to the problem based on fuzzy coal...
متن کاملCoalitions Among Intelligent Agents: A Tractable Case
Coalition formation is an important mechanism for cooperation in multiagent systems. In this paper we address the problem of coalition formation among self-interested agents in superadditive task-oriented domains. We assume that each agent has some “structure,” i.e., that it can be described by the values taken by a set of m nonnegative attributes that represent the resources w each agent is en...
متن کاملFeasible Formation of Coalitions among Autonomous Agents in Nonsuperadditve Environments
Cooperating and sharing resources by creating coalitions of agents are an important way for autonomous agents to execute tasks and to maximize payoo. Such coalitions will form only if each member of a coalition gains more if it joins the coalition than it could gain otherwise. There are several ways of creating such coalitions and dividing the joint payoo among the members. In this paper we pre...
متن کاملThe Formation of Coalitions Among Self-Interested Agents
Researchers in the multi-agent systems community of DA1 assume that agents will have to interact with others agents that were designed by different designers for different goals. These diverse agents could benefit each other by collaborating, but they will do so only if the resulting deal is beneficial from each agent’s point of view. One useful definition of beneficial is that of economic rati...
