Problems of liveness and fairness are considered in multi-agent systems by means of abstract languages. Different approaches to define such properties for the agents and for a multi-agent system as a whole are discussed. It turns out that the properties of a multi-agent system ne
1. THE NEED FOR FAIRNESS In our increasingly interconnected world, research in the area of multi-agent systems is becoming more and more important [1, 2]. Multi-agent systems are generally accepted as valuable tools for designing and building distributed dynamical systems, by usi
Typically, multi-agent systems are designed assuming perfectly rational, self-interested agents, according to the principles of classical game theory. However, research in the field of behavioral economics shows that humans are not purely self-interested; they strongly care about
We study a general network of agents that can be built with Zeus [?]. Relationships between agents can be peer, slave, master, discounter, or no relation at all. There are four possible strategies: the cheapest agent is selected, preference to slaves first, cut-price discounting
