Concept of Multi-agent Conditional Interplay

Abstract

A new approach to modeling the collective behaviour in terms of conditional multi-agent interplay is proposed in this paper. Within this approach, we explicitly model the situation where some agents’ action history (past behaviour) conditions subsequent actions of some other agents. Such a viewpoint of the multi-agent behaviour provides for the possibility to create and study useful models of collective behaviour, ultimately gaining a deeper understanding of the basic laws of the conditional interplay. The temporizing game as an example of modeling the collective behaviour within the sample coordination space, the cyberCromlech, demonstrates the approach.
