SNA-based reasoning for multiagent team composition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The social network analysis (SNA), branch of complex systems can be used in the construction of multiagent systems. This paper proposes a study of how social network analysis can assist in modeling multiagent systems, while addressing similarities and differences between the two theories. We built a prototype of multi-agent systems for resolution of tasks through the formation of teams of agents that are formed on the basis of the social network established between agents. Agents make use of performance indicators to assess when should change their social network to maximize the participation in teams.

Improving the Distributed Constraint Optimization Using Social Network Analysis
Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) has emerged as one of most important formalisms for distributed reasoning in multiagent systems. Nevertheless, there are few real world applications based on methods for solving DCOP, due to their inefficiency in some scenarios. This paper introduces the use of Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques to improve the performance in pseudo-tree-b...
متن کاملCooperative Bayesian and Case-Based Reasoning for Solving Multiagent Planning Tasks
We describe an integrated problem solving architecture named INBANCAin which Bayesian networks and case-based reasoning (CBR) work cooperatively on multiagent planning tasks. This includes two-team dynamic tasks, and this paper concentrates on simulated soccer as an example. Bayesian networks are used to characterize action selection whereas a case-based approach is used to determine how to imp...
متن کاملTeam Dynamics: A Social Network Perspective
Research has consistently revealed that team cohesion is positively related to team performance under certain conditions. In response to the need for understanding this relationship more fully, and because of the promising new insights that can be garnered with the use of social network analysis (SNA), this study employs SNA as a tool to explore a case study of the structural cohesiveness of tw...
متن کاملIncreasing Security through Communication and Policy Randomization in Multiagent Systems
Despite significant recent advances in decision theoretic frameworks for reasoning about multiagent teams, little attention has been paid to applying such frameworks in adversarial domains, where the agent team may face security threats from other agents. This paper focuses on domains where such threats are caused by unseen adversaries whose actions or payoffs are unknown. In such domains, acti...
متن کاملAdapting Plans through Communication with Unknown Teammates: (Doctoral Consortium)
Coordinating a team of autonomous agents is a challenging problem. Agents must act in such a way that makes progress toward the achievement of a goal while avoiding conflict with their teammates. In information asymmetric domains, it is often necessary to share crucial observations in order to collaborate effectively. In traditional multiagent systems literature, these teams of agents share an ...
