Emergence of Sharing Behavior in a Multi-agent Society Using Tags

Abstract

This paper investigates how tags can be used to achieve emergence of sharing behavior in a multi-agent society made of different groups. The context of interaction between agents in the society is the knowledge-sharing game, where agents use tags to identify those who are similar to them. This paper explains under what circumstances tags succeed to establish knowledge sharing. The results discussed in this paper were obtained using the simulation of artificial agent societies.
