Convergence at prominent agents: a non-flat synchronization model of situated multi-agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel non-flat synchronization model where the synchronization capacity of each agent is different regarding its social rank and strategy dominance. In the presented model, the prominent agents may have higher synchronization forces, and finally the collective synchronization results may incline to converge at such prominent agents’ strategies, which is called prominence convergence in collective synchronization and proved by our experimental results. The presented model can well match the peculiarities of real multi-agent societies where each agent plays a different role in the synchronization, and make up the restrictions of related benchmark works that only concerned about the flat synchronization.

A Formal Model for Situated Multi-Agent Systems
Contrary to cognitive approaches of agency where a lot of effort is devoted to the formalization of agent concepts, little work has been done on the formalization of situated multi-agent systems (situated MASs). In this paper we present a generic model for situated MASs. This model formally describes an abstract architecture for situated MASs. In this architecture each agent is situated in his ...
متن کاملModel for situated multi-agent systems with regional synchronization
In this paper we present a generic model for situated multi-agent systems (MAS). Situated agents live and act in the present: they perform situated actions, i.e. actions selected on the basis of their position, the state of the world they perceive and limited internal state. The model we discuss is based on the model of influences and reactions to influences developed by J. Ferber and J.P. Müll...
متن کاملRegional Synchronization for Simultaneous Actions in Situated Multi-agent Systems
Agents of a multi-agent system (MAS) must synchronize whenever they want to perform simultaneous actions. In situated MASs, typically, the control over such synchronization is centralized, i.e. one synchronizer has the supervision on all agents of the MAS. As a consequence, all agents are forced to act at a global pace and that does not fit with autonomy of agents. Besides, global synchronizati...
متن کاملModel for Simultaneous Actions in Situated Multi-agent Systems
The main focus of multi-agent research so far has been on concepts and techniques to analyze and specify multi-agent systems. Much less attention has been devoted to the implementation of the concepts and techniques. This paper intends to bridge the gap between the mere concept of simultaneous actions and its implementation. Simultaneous actions are actions that are executed by different agents...
متن کاملA Design Process for Adaptive Behavior of Situated Agents
Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multi-agent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly placed in an environment which agents can perceive and in which they can act. Situated agents do not use long-term planning to decide what action sequence should be executed, but select actions based on the locally perceived s...
