Fairness in multi-agent systems
1. THE NEED FOR FAIRNESS In our increasingly interconnected world, research in the area of multi-agent systems is becoming more and more important [1, 2]. Multi-agent systems are generally accepted as valuable tools for designing and building distributed dynamical systems, by using several interacting agents, possibly including humans. In practice, multi-agent systems are often performing tasks...
متن کاملConsiderations for fairness in multi-agent systems
Typically, multi-agent systems are designed assuming perfectly rational, self-interested agents, according to the principles of classical game theory. However, research in the field of behavioral economics shows that humans are not purely self-interested; they strongly care about whether their rewards are fair. Therefore, multi-agent systems that fail to take fairness into account, may not be s...
متن کاملLiveness and Fairness Properties in Multi-Agent Systems
Problems of liveness and fairness are considered in multi-agent systems by means of abstract languages. Different approaches to define such properties for the agents and for a multi-agent system as a whole are discussed. It turns out that the properties of a multi-agent system need not correspond to separately de-finable properties of the agents (e.g. a community of fair agents need not constit...
متن کاملStability, Fairness and Scalability of Multi-Agent Systems
We study a general network of agents that can be built with Zeus [?]. Relationships between agents can be peer, slave, master, discounter, or no relation at all. There are four possible strategies: the cheapest agent is selected, preference to slaves first, cut-price discounting based on the utility, and cheapest agent chosen, but preference given to cheapest slave. The cost of a task for the a...
متن کاملModeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
