CPSC 532a: Multiagent Systems Agents: Different Meanings to Different People
نویسنده
چکیده
Agents are a central concept in Distributed Artificial Intelligence. What truly defines an agent and in what manner they are used is very broad. Distributed Problem Solving and Multiagent Systems are fields within Distributed Artificial Intelligence that use the agent concept quite extensively. This paper investigate the manner in which agents play a role in these two fields. An agent based approaches from both Distributed Problem Solving and Multiagent Systems to solving the task scheduling problem are examined and compared. A clear dinction is then made between the two fields.

CPSC 532a: Multiagent Systems Can agents be collaborative? Combinatorial Auctions for Collaborative Planning
When multiple rational utility-maximizing agents make some interactions, there are opportunities for them to collaborate on a group activity. In such occasions, they should be able to decide whether to commit themselves to that activity in a way that they can maximize their own utility. This problem is referred as the initial commitment decision problem (ICDP). In this paper, we present a brief...
متن کاملCPSC 532a Project Better Responses
A Nash equilibrium refinement is introduced that forms a nonempty subset of the Nash equilibria of a game. This refinement is attained via removal of mutually dominated strategy subprofiles, a process justified by every agent being better off if every agent follows it. The new solution concept is applied to various example games and its usefulness discussed for general games.
متن کاملA Multiagent Reinforcement Learning algorithm to solve the Community Detection Problem
Community detection is a challenging optimization problem that consists of searching for communities that belong to a network under the assumption that the nodes of the same community share properties that enable the detection of new characteristics or functional relationships in the network. Although there are many algorithms developed for community detection, most of them are unsuitable when ...
متن کاملIt makes sense... and reference: A bag-of-words model for meaning grounding and sharing in multiagent systems
In a semantic web-like multi-agent environment ontology mismatch is inevitable: we can’t realistically expect agents created at different times and places by different people to commit to one unchanging universal ontology. But what happens when agents attempt to interact? Can we benefit from ontology matching techniques to prevent communication breakdown? In this paper we present the Semantic M...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of peer-designed agents in agent-based simulations
The ability to reliably represent and replicate choices people make is crucial for building accurate models of day-to-day situations. The fact that people are inherently rationallyand computationally-bounded increases the difficulties in designing such simulations. This paper builds on the use of peer-designed agents (PDAs) – computer agents developed by people – to show their effectiveness in ...
