Towards a Framework for Predicting Opportunism in Multi-agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Monitoring Opportunism in Multi-agent Systems
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 frame...
متن کاملVoltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
متن کاملUtilizing Generalized Learning Automata for Finding Optimal Policies in MMDPs
Multi agent Markov decision processes (MMDPs), as the generalization of Markov decision processes to the multi agent case, have long been used for modeling multi agent system and are used as a suitable framework for Multi agent Reinforcement Learning. In this paper, a generalized learning automata based algorithm for finding optimal policies in MMDP is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, MMDP ...
