Agent Honesty, Cooperation and Benevolence in an Artificial Organization

چکیده
Organizations are composed of individuals. However, organizational behavior is not simply a sum of the behaviors of the individuals comprising them. Organizations alter individual behavior by constraining who interacts with whom, as well as constraining the subjects motivating their interactions [March & Simon, 1958], what resources are available [Pfeffer & Salancik, 1978], providing new motivations and inducements for behavior, such as group goals [Arrow & Radner, 1979], and so forth. Nevertheless, an organization’s behavior is not independent of the input of its members. Their collective actions shape organizational behavior. Thus, there are two phenomenological horizons at issue simultaneously.

متن کاملMeasuring Synergy from Benevolence in a Network Organization
In a complex adaptive system, diverse agents perform various actions without adherence to a predefined structure. The achievement of joint actions will be a result of continual interactions among them that shape a dynamic network. Agents may form an ad hoc organization based on dynamic network of interactions for the purpose of achieving a long term objective, which is called a Network Organiza...
متن کاملLearning by Exploration and Cooperation in Dynamic Agencies
The building of cooperative multi-agent systems is an issue of growing importance in the field of Distributed Artificial Intelligence. We introduce a type of agency, called dynamic agency, that overcomes the critical problem of having agents that have both several specific operation functions, and one uniform cooperation ability. A dynamic agency is also suited to give flexibility with respect ...
متن کاملBenevolent Characteristics Promote Cooperative Behaviour among Humans
Cooperation is fundamental to the evolution of human society. We regularly observe cooperative behaviour in everyday life and in controlled experiments with anonymous people, even though standard economic models predict that they should deviate from the collective interest and act so as to maximise their own individual payoff. However, there is typically heterogeneity across subjects: some may ...
متن کاملAn Agent-Based System for Products Penetration Strategy Selection
This paper describes an agent-based system implementing an original consumer-based methodology for product penetration strategy selection in real-world situations. Agents are simultaneously considered according to two different levels: a functional and a structural level. In the functional level, we have three types of agents: task agents, information agents, and interface agents assuming task ...
