The Reorganization of Societies of Autonomous Agents

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 a Simulation Tool for Evaluating Dynamic Reorganization of Agents Societies
Reorganization of the structure of an organization is a crucial issue in multi-agent systems that operate in an open, dynamic environment. Currently, most coordination mechanisms are imposed upon the system at design time, and their modification implies the redesign of the system. However, autonomous agents must be able to evaluate and decide the most appropriate organization given the environm...
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...
متن کاملA categorization of simulation works on norms
In multi-agent systems, software agents are modelled to possess characteristics and behaviour borrowed from human societies. Norms are expectations of behaviours of the agents in a society. Norms can be established in a society in different ways. In human societies, there are several types of norms such as moral norms, social norms and legal norms (laws). In artificial agent societies, the desi...
