A simulation approach to design contracts that govern emergent multi-agent systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent-based normative systems offer the potential for a business to model, understand the consequences of, and then refine contracts to improve the outcomes for that business. In this paper, we combine a simulation technique designed for investigating and tuning emergent behavior in multi-agent systems with an approach to modeling norms of the complexity found in business contracts. We believe that our approach can aid in the refinement of such contracts by exposing the consequences of contract variations.

This paper concerns the problem of output consensus in nonlinear non-minimum phase systems. The main contribution of the paper is to guarantee achieving consensus in the presence of unstable zero dynamics. To achieve this goal, an output redefinition method is proposed. The new outputs of agents are functions of original outputs and internal states and defined such that the dynamics of agents a...
