Abstract

We present a novel approach to enable decision-making in a highly distributed multiagent environment where individual agents need to act in an autonomous fashion. Our architecture framework integrates risk management, knowledge management, and agent deliberation to enable sophisticated, autonomous decision-making. Instead of a centralized knowledge repository, our approach supports a highly distributed knowledge base in which each agent manages a fraction of the knowledge needed by the entire system.

Knowledge Management in Societies of Intelligent Adaptive Agents
Special issue: adaptive intelligent agents

A model is developed of the emergence of the knowledge level in a society of agents where agents model and manage other agents as resources, and manage the learning of other agents to develop such resources. It is argued that any persistent system that ...
Coalitions of malicious intelligent agents

In this paper, we propose a model of pro-social and antisocial behaviour within and between agent coalitions. We analyse benevolent, selfish, and malevolent agents as generic types of pro-social and antisocial agents. We show that social attitudes must ...
