چکیده
This paper investigates the skills of autonomous agents to reorganize their society as answer to environmental changes. The reorganization of an agent society can be motivated by the desire to reduce connicts within inter-agent cooperation and to increase the eeciency in achieving goals. Our interest is centered on situations where new agents want to join an existing agent society which has established conventions for agent cooperation. Joining an agent society means that the society can draw beneets from the interaction with the new members having competencies which are complementary to the society ones; both, the society and the new members, need to agree on a new convention. We introduce a method for reorganization based on the principle of punishment : a society punishes or favors the behaviors of its new members.

متن کاملTowards Dynamic Reorganization of Agent Societies
In this paper, which is exploratory in nature, we discuss reorganization issues in agent societies. We are interested in how and why organizations change, and how can reorganization be done dynamically, with minimal interference from the system designer. It is evident that changes in the environment trigger reorganization, but in which situations do agents decide to modify their behavior, and w...

Background: Microtubules (MT) are important components of cell cytoskeleton and play key roles in cell motility mitosis and meiosis. They are also the targets of several anticancer agents which indicating their importance in maintaining cell viability. Microtubular reorganization contributing to apoptotic morphology occurs in normal and neoplastic cells undergoing apoptosis induced by cytotoxic...

Different types of reading strategies pose challenges to instructors and learners in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. This study aimed at identifying and comparing reading strategies used by instructors and students in dealing with literal comprehension, reorganization, and inferential comprehension questions. The participants werefive EFL instructors and 27 students from the En...
متن کاملReorganization of microfilament structure induced by ac electric fields.
AC electric fields induce redistribution of integral membrane proteins. Cell-surface receptor redistribution does not consistently follow electric field lines and depends critically on the frequency of the applied ac electric fields, suggesting that mechanisms other than electroosmosis are involved. We hypothesized that cytoskeletal reorganization is responsible for electric field-induced cell-...
