Motivating Agents in Unreliable Environments: A Computational Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of formal models for rational agents is mainly driven by the well-established BDI approach which divides an agent’s mental state into beliefs, desires, and intentions. In this paper, we argue that motivation as well has to be taken into account in order to allow for a flexible and proactive behavior of intelligent agents in unreliable environments. In our approach, motives take the role of describing an agent’s personality and are the driving force for creating desires and abandoning previously selected goals. We investigate the relationships between motives and their associated desires as well as the impact brought about by the uncertainty and unreliability of the environment.

Vacation model for Markov machine repair problem with two heterogeneous unreliable servers and threshold recovery
Markov model of multi-component machining system comprising two unreliable heterogeneous servers and mixed type of standby support has been studied. The repair job of broken down machines is done on the basis of bi-level threshold policy for the activation of the servers. The server returns back to render repair job when the pre-specified workload of failed machines is build up. The first (seco...
متن کاملA Benders� Decomposition Approach for Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing System in the Presence of Unreliable Machines
In order to implement the cellular manufacturing system in practice, some essential factors should be taken into account. In this paper, a new mathematical model for cellular manufacturing system considering different production factors including alternative process routings and machine reliability with stochastic arrival and service times in a dynamic environment is proposed. Also because of t...
متن کاملInterdependent Security Game Design over Constrained Linear Influence Networks
In today's highly interconnected networks, security of the entities are often interdependent. This means security decisions of the agents are not only influenced by their own costs and constraints, but also are affected by their neighbors’ decisions. Game theory provides a rich set of tools to analyze such influence networks. In the game model, players try to maximize their utilities through se...
متن کاملEstimation of Network Reliability for a Fully Connected Network with Unreliable Nodes and Unreliable Edges using Neuro Optimization
In this paper it is tried to estimate the reliability of a fully connected network of some unreliable nodes and unreliable connections (edges) between them. The proliferation of electronic messaging has been witnessed during the last few years. The acute problem of node failure and connection failure is frequently encountered in communication through various types of networks. We know that a ne...
متن کاملCommunication in Domains with Unreliable, Single-Channel, Low-Bandwidth Communication
In most multiagent systems with communicating agents, the agents have the luxury of using reliable, multi-step negotiation protocols. They can do so primarily when communication is reliable and the cost of communication relative to other actions is small. Conversely, this paper considers multiagent environments with unreliable, high-cost communication. This paper presents techniques for dealing...
