Bonabean and G. Theraulaz, 1994; J.-L. Deneubourg and S. Goss, 1989; 1991), and in robotics to solve problems such as the collecting or the sorting out of elements in a dynamical environment (R. Brooks, 1986; J.-L. Deneubourg and S. Goss, 1991). The reactive agent architecture is based on a simple process of action-reaction often extended with capabilities of adaptation and learning. However, studies that have been carried out on these systems suffer from a lack of formalism, in particular when performances are evaluated. The experimental approach, based on a direct observation (of real or simulated systems) does not allow for quantitative analysis. Mathematical models have been proposed to analyse the behaviour of action-selection, agent specialization and collective work among insects. But these studies give better results on individual agent behaviour than on global collective performances. The study proposes a method to compute the global performances of collective systems given the behaviour of agents, the environment and the kind of events that can happen. Difficulties lie in the fact that these processes contain a lot of random events. Therefore, the problem consists of modelling the system with the right level of description. Thus we do not study issues that are based on emerging phenomena because, as M. Mataric (1994) emphasizes, it is impossible to determine them without testing the system.","PeriodicalId":244857,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Conference on Multi Agent Systems (Cat.

Chitson, 1992) has been proposed to represent systems that typically support the formation, activities, and organization of informal groups on open networks such as the Internet or mobile computing systems. Communityware is intended to provide support for a diverse and amorphous group of people who do not yet have a clearly defined goal. We explain the development of an example communityware system that graphically presents a potential community, i.e., people sharing common interests. The proposed system determines the degree of common interests for each pair of people, and it then locates the users in a plane where the distance between the users reflects the relevance between them. A major challenge for implementing this system is distinguishing an appropriate set of keywords to visualize potential communities. The system extracts keywords from the users' profiles and calculates the degree of relevance among the users using those keywords. We use a weight system for keywords as well as a learning mechanism that determines the desired weight from user feedback. It is shown that agents can speed up this learning process by cooperation.","PeriodicalId":244857,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Conference on Multi Agent Systems (Cat.

In particular, which agents communicate with which, what protocols they use, and what information flows from one to another. Such design choices will affect the efficiency of the community with respect to several parameters accuracy, speed of solution, and message load. In this paper, we consider one class of problem which multi-agent systems engage in-service provision. Using a simple, abstract, form of this problem, we use a mathematical analysis to show that three different messaging protocols result in varying message loads, depending on certain parameters such as number of agents and frequency of request. If the parameters are fixed, we can conclude which of these three protocols is most efficient. However, these parameters will usually vary over time, and hence the best of the three protocols will vary. We show that the community can adopt the best protocol if each individual agent makes a local decision based on which protocol will minimise its own message load. Hence, local decisions lead to globally good behaviour. We demonstrate this both mathematically and experimentally.","PeriodicalId":244857,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Conference on Multi Agent Systems (Cat.
