Emergent Properties for Data Distribution in a Cognitive MAS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emergence is a key element in the research of multi-agent systems. Emergent properties provide higher level features to a system formed of simpler individuals. So far, emergence has been studied mostly through systems formed of reactive agents – that are easier to design and implement. As computational power increases and even small devices become more capable, cognitive agents become a promising solution for more complex problems. This paper presents a multi-agent system that uses cognitive agents and that is designed to manifest emergent properties: a data storage system that assures distribution and replication of data as emergent properties, without the need for these features to be controlled in a centralized way.

Model based approach to detect emergent behavior in multi-agent systems
Multi-agent systems (MAS) are efficient solutions for commercial applications such as robotics, business commerce applications, information retrieval and search engines. In MAS, agents are usually designed with distribution of functionality and control. Lack of central control implies that the quality of service of MAS may be degraded because of possible unwanted behavior at runtime, commonly k...

متن کاملA Framework towards the Verification of Emergent Properties in Spatial Multi-Agent Systems
Formal modelling of multi-agent systems (MAS) present many interesting challenges. In this extended abstract we present a framework of how formal modelling can lead towards identi cation and veri cation of emergent properties of spatial biology-inspired MAS. We discuss the problem in question as well as initial work done on the formal modelling side and the visual animation of these formal models.
متن کاملTesting the Limits of Emergent Behavior in MAS Using Learning of Cooperative Behavior
We present a method to test a group of agents for (unwanted) emergent behavior by using techniques from learning of cooperative behavior. The general idea is to mimick users or other systems interacting with the tested agents by a group of tester agents and to evolve the actions of these tester agents. The goal of this evolutionary learning is to get the tested agents to exhibit the (unwanted) ...
متن کاملFormal Reasoning about Emergent Behaviours of Multi-Agent Systems
Emergent behaviour (EB) is a common phenomenon in multi-agent systems (MAS) where autonomous agents perform certain actions with only limited access to local information and make decisions individually, while the whole system demonstrates properties and behaviours that have strong global features. Because of the huge gap between individual agents’ properties and behaviours and those of the whol...
