Monitoring Opportunism in Multi-agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Opportunism is a behavior that causes norm violation and promotes own value. In the context of multi-agent systems, we constrain such a selfish behavior through setting enforcement norms. Because opportunistic behavior cannot be observed indirectly, there has to be a monitoring mechanism that can detect the performance of opportunistic behavior in the system. This paper provides a logical framework based on the specification of actions to specify monitoring aproaches for opportunism. We investigate how to evaluate agents’ actions to be opportunistic with respect to different forms of norms when those actions cannot be observed directly, and study how to reduce the monitoring cost for opportunism.

On the use of multi-agent systems for the monitoring of industrial systems
The objective of the current paper is to present an intelligent system for complex process monitoring, based on artificial intelligence technologies. This system aims to realize with success all the complex process monitoring tasks that are: detection, diagnosis, identification and reconfiguration. For this purpose, the development of a multi-agent system that combines multiple intelligences su...
متن کاملTowards a Framework for Predicting Opportunism in Multi-agent Systems
Opportunism is a behavior that takes advantage of knowledge asymmetry and results in promoting agents’ own value and demoting others’ value. We propose a framework to reason about agents’ opportunistic propensity and characterize the situation where agents will perform opportunistic behavior.
متن کاملDeveloping Anticipatory and Affective Competences in Multi Agent Systems
In this work we embed some anticipatory mechanisms in an agent architecture, modeling affective behaviours as effects of surprise. We look at the advantages of becoming cautious, wary and careful. Through experiments discussion we show how this approach increases not only agent opportunism and reactivity but also anticipatory capabilities for planning and reasoning.

agent-based modeling is an emerging computational technique that makes it possible to simulate complex economic systems, including the banking network, with a bottom-up approach. In this paper, the country's banking network is simulated with an intelligent multi-agent modeling model and indicates that these agents behave based on the adaptive learning. This modeling has been done with the aim o...
متن کاملAn opportunist action selection mechanism which has taste 1
We propose an action selection mechanism (ASM) for situated and cognitive multi-agent systems authorizing a large variety of behaviours. Our action selection allows, first, the management of several goals with dynamic priorities. Second, it enables the possibility for the agent to be temporarily diverted from its main goal in order to achieve a secondary goal promoted by the environment. Third,...
