Rights and coordination in Multi-Agent Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Agents' behaviour is not only dictated by utility calculus, as has frequently been proposed. Even if we adopt a welfarist design, interests and not utilities seem to guide a very important part of agents' behaviour in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Agents have rights that protect their interests against additive utilities: Rights allow them enough freedom, but at the same time constrain them (prohibiting speciic actions). So far, Castelfranchi 4] studied the right to claim generated by social commitments, and recently Norman et al. 13] have deened rights in the form of permissions as arguments in agreements. In this paper we introduce some intuitive ideas about basic rights or liberties: How they are understood, their functions and their relations with unconstrained actions in a general model of coordination.

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
متن کاملVariable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems
In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...
متن کاملAdaptive neural control of nonlinear fractional order multi- agent systems in the presence of error constraintion
In this paper, the problem of fractional order multi-agent tracking control problem is considered. External disturbances, uncertainties, error constraints, transient response suitability and desirable response tracking problems are the challenges in this study. Because of these problems and challenges, an adaptive control and neural estimator approaches are used in this study. In the first part...
متن کاملA multi-agent coordination model for the variation of underlying network topology
In now multi-agent systems, the underlying networks are always dynamic and the network topologies are always changed in the operation. Therefore, the coordination of agents shall be adjusted for the dynamic network topology. Aiming at the dynamics of underlying network topology, a novel adaptive multi-agents coordination model is explored in this paper. In the paper, a series of algorithms for ...
متن کاملAdaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...
