1315 Networking for Multi - agents : Beyond a Local View ( Extended Abstract )

چکیده
Decentralised multi-agent systems have empowered individual agents to actively select their course of action to achieve their goals. However, this leaves agents with a limited view of their environment, limiting awareness mainly to their interaction partners. We believe that through interactions and recommendation exchange, agents can build a network of their environment and expand their local view. Agents can extract emergent information from the relationships and interactions they observe. Analysing and understanding such information can improve an agent’s efforts in minimising risk associated with the uncertainty of agent interactions, including collusion detection and the discovery of new providers.

Commitment Abstraction for Efficient Planning and Coordination in Stochastic Multi-agent Systems (Extended Abstract of Doctoral Thesis)
This thesis is motivated by the vast complexity of cooperative stochastic multi-agent planning, where agents can affect the transitions and rewards of one another, but in order to coordinate their interactions effectively, must account for the uncertainty in these actions. To combat this complexity, I exploit interaction structure in weakly-coupled problems to compute coordinated agent policies...
متن کاملA Unified Interaction Model with Agent, Organization, and Environment
The interaction in multi-agent systems (MASs) is already a quite studied theme, but there are still some open issues. Beyond the interaction between agents, it is possible to see the interaction between agents and environment, or between agents and organization. These other interaction kinds allow us to conceive several situations that are not limited to speech acts. Since most of current work ...
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 کاملThe Integrated Supply Chain of After-sales Services Model: A Multi-objective Scatter Search Optimization Approach
Abstract: In recent decades, high profits of extended warranty have caused that third-party firms consider it as a lucrative after-sales service. However, customers division in terms of risk aversion and effect of offering extended warranty on manufacturers’ basic warranty should be investigated through adjusting such services. Since risk-averse customers welcome extended warranty, while the cu...
متن کاملMABS for a Deregulated Electricity Market
In this extended abstract we motivate and briefly describe a MABS (multi-agent based simulation) approach to the electricity market, aimed at simulating the interactions of agents and to study the macro-scale effects of those interactions. We describe our preliminary implementation of an artificial market, named TEMMAS (The Electricity Market Multi-Agent Simulator), populated with (virtual) age...
