Influence-Based Autonomy Levels in Agent Decision-Making

Bob van der Vecht; André P. Meyer; Martijn Neef; Frank Dignum; John-Jules Ch. Meyer

Autonomy is a crucial and powerful feature of agents and it is the subject of much research in the agent field. Controlling the autonomy of agents is a way to coordinate the behavior of groups of agents. Our approach is to look at it as a design problem for agents. We analyze the autonomy of an agent as a gradual property that is related to the degree of intervention of other agents in the decision process. We define different levels of autonomy in terms of inter-agent influences and we present a BDI-based deliberation process in which different levels of autonomy can be implemented.

Centralized Regulation of Social Exchanges Between Personality-Based Agents

Graçaliz Pereira Dimuro; Antônio Carlos da Rocha Costa; Luciano Vargas Gonçalves; Alexandre Hübner

This paper presents a centralized mechanism for solving the coordination problem of personality-based multiagent systems from the point of view of social exchanges. The agents may have different personality traits, which induce different attitudes towards both the regulation mechanism and the possible profits of social exchanges. A notion of exchange stability can be defined, and the connections between agents’ personalities and deviations of social exchanges from the stability point can be established. The model supports a decision procedure based on Qualitative Interval Markov Decision Processes, that can solve the problem of keeping the stability of social exchanges, in spite of the different personality traits of the agents. The paper deals only with transparent agents (agents that allow the external access to their balances of exchange values), but we hint on the case of non-transparent agents. The model is analyzed theoretically and contextualized simulations are presented.

Cooperative Interactions: An Exchange Values Model

Maíra R. Rodrigues; Michael Luck

In non-economic cooperative applications with resource constraints, explicitly motivating cooperation is important so that autonomous service providers have incentives to cooperate. When participants of such applications have different skills and expectations over services, it may be that an agent receives less than expected from a cooperation. A decision-making strategy over interactions in this context must consider not only the motivation to cooperate, but also which interactions to perform to cope with resource limitations. In this paper, we present a computational approach for modelling non-economic cooperative interactions based on the theory of . Here, exchange values are used to motivate cooperative interactions, and to allow agents to identify successful and unsuccessful cooperations with others, in order to limit service provision and to improve the number of successful interactions. We also present a scenario in which agents participate in a cooperative application in the bioinformatics domain, and show how agents can improve their interactions using the proposed approach.
