Tag Interactions in MultiAgent Systems: Environment Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tag interactions refer to interactions in which software agents are intentionally or opportunistically involved. Intentional tag interactions allow agents to observe each other, like when one observes the physical condition of others. Opportunistic tag interactions occur when one agent receives information about others without requesting for it, like when one realizes that a friend is ill. Such cases seem natural for human-beings, but software agents need specific support. In this paper we model tag interactions based on the agent environment and computational bodies to enact, maintain, and regulate their execution. We discuss our model and we identify further issues in the current state of the research. An example application is described in detail to show the potential of introducing tag interactions. Future work aims at addressing the present research issues and to implement the example application to experimentally evaluate the computational and communication cost of

Environments for Multiagent Systems
There is a growing awareness in the multiagent systems research community that the environment plays a prominent role in multiagent systems. Originating from research on behavior-based agent systems and situated multiagent systems, the importance of the environment in multiagent systems is now gradually accepted in the multiagent system community in general. The aim of the AgentLink Technical F...
متن کاملContextualize Agent Interactions by Combining Communication and Physical Dimensions in the Environment
The environment, as a space shared between agents, is a key component of multiagent systems (MAS). Depending on systems, this space may integrate physical, communication or communication dimensions. Each of them has its own process and rules to support agents’ interaction. The dimensions of the environment are generally connected either outside of the agents or within each agent, according to t...
متن کاملEnvironment, First-Order Abstraction in Multiagent Systems
Current practice in multiagent systems typically associates the environment with resources external to the agents and infrastructure for communication. Advanced uses of the environment are infrastructures for indirect coordination such as digital pheromones, or support for governed interaction as in electronic institutions. Yet, in general, the notion of environment is not well defined. Functio...
متن کاملA Multidimensional Environment Implementation for Enhancing Agent Interaction
The environment, as a space shared between agents, is a key component of multiagent systems (MAS). Depending on systems, this space may integrate physical, communication or social dimensions. Each of them has its own process and rules to support agents’ interaction. For instance, in the physical dimension, the rules may be based on the agents’ location. The agents’ interaction is then contextua...
متن کاملCoupled replicator equations for the dynamics of learning in multiagent systems.
Starting with a group of reinforcement-learning agents we derive coupled replicator equations that describe the dynamics of collective learning in multiagent systems. We show that, although agents model their environment in a self-interested way without sharing knowledge, a game dynamics emerges naturally through environment-mediated interactions. An application to rock-scissors-paper game inte...
