Minority Games and Distributed Coordination in Non-Stationary Environments

In this paper we examine emergent coordination in a network of competing boolean agents. The agents play so called Generalized Minority Game where the capacity level is allowed to vary externally. We study the properties of such a system for different values of the mean connectivity of the network, and show that the system with shows a high degree of coordination for relatively large variations of the capacity level. We also show that for coordination can be achieved by tuning the homogeneity parameter of the agents’ boolean strategies.
