Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper, we bring social relation awareness into agents decision-making process. An agent decides whether to offer help or not to another agent based on both utility gain and also social attachment consideration toward the other agent. We experiment with heterogeneous agents that use different combinations of utility and social relation to make decisions. We study the development of cooperative teams among agents as they help each other to accomplish tasks. We also evaluate the effect of social relationship development on individual agents and the systems overall performance. |
