چکیده
Horizontal cooperation is one very basic kind of cooperation between expert systems. We argue that the principle of horizontal cooperation under uncertainties is cooperation and competing. In this paper, we present a mechanism for competing. We introduce the deenition of expected utilities of hypotheses and the concept of conclusion distances which describes the degrees of diierence between conclusions. Based on these concepts, we present a two-level decision model. This model can select a best alternative which is the delegate of common goods.
