Convergence at prominent agents: a non-flat synchronization model of situated multi-agents
Pages 1493 - 1496
Abstract
This paper presents a novel non-flat synchronization model where the synchronization capacity of each agent is different regarding its social rank and strategy dominance. In the presented model, the prominent agents may have higher synchronization forces, and finally the collective synchronization results may incline to converge at such prominent agents' strategics, which is called prominence convergence in collective synchronization and proved by our experimental results. The presented model can well match the peculiarities of real multi-agent societies where each agent plays a different role in the synchronization, and make up the restrictions of related benchmark works that only concerned about the flat synchronization.

Prominence convergence in the collective synchronization of situated multi-agents
In previous work on collective synchronization of multi-agents, they always follow the assumptions that the synchronization is flat where all agents have the same synchronization capacity and the final synchronization result always converges on a common ...
Co-evolutionary learning with strategic coalition for multiagents
In a dynamic system, such as social and economic systems, complex interactions emerge among its members. In that case, their behaviors become adaptive according to changing environment. In this paper, we use the iterated prisoner's dilemma (IPD) game, ...
