Dynamic Facts in Large Team Information Sharing (Extended Abstract)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we extend the large team information sharing problem to consider dynamic facts, where the value of facts about the environment being observed can change over time. Dynamic facts are challenging because the team must repeatedly converge to consistent, accurate beliefs over time, without necessarily knowing if or when the fact changes values. We discover an interesting, emergent phenomenon: institutional memory, where the team as a whole becomes stuck remembering outdated beliefs. We demonstrate that controlling the trust placed in new information from neighboring agents does not adequately control belief convergence with dynamic facts, which previously was shown to benefit the team when working with static facts.

As a paradigm for coordinating cooperative agents in dynamic environments, teamwork has been shown to be capable of leading to flexible and robust behavior. However, when teamwork is applied to the problem of building teams with hundreds of members, its previously existing, fundamental limitations become apparent. In this paper, we address the limitations of existing models as they apply to ver...

In large-scale multi-agent systems, communicating effectively is necessary for agents to cooperatively achieve joint goals. Despite significant progress on the multi-agent information sharing problem, existing research has not adequately dealt with the case of very large teams coordinating using a wireless network with changing team structure and density, where messages are broadcast to multipl...
متن کاملMutual Influence Potential Networks: Enabling Information Sharing in Loosely-Coupled Extended-Duration Teamwork
Complex collaborative activities such as treating patients, co-authoring documents and developing software are often characterized by teamwork that is loosely coupled and extends in time. To remain coordinated and avoid conflicts, team members need to identify dependencies between their activities — which though loosely coupled may interact — and share information appropriately. The loose-coupl...
