Agent的行为自信度及其修改规则

在多Ａｇｅｎｔ系统中，个体Ａｇｅｎｔ除了具有自治性，应激性，主动性外，还应当具社会性以完成只有协作才能解决的问题。这种社会性要求Ａｇｅｎｔ能及时响应其它Ａｇｅｎｔ的服务请求，对自己的行为作出承诺。但是，，有能力和意图并不一定有信心。

SELF-CONFIDENCE DEGREE OF AGENT'S BEHAVIORS AND ITS REVISION RULES

In multi-agent systems, individual agents should also have social abili-ties in order to complete their own problem solving and to help others with their ac-tivities, as well as autonomy, responsiveness and proactiveness. Social ability re-quires that agents should respond timely to requests from other agents and committo their own actions. If an agent advertises a willingness to perform a service, thenit is obliged to perform this service when asked to do so. However, ability and in-tention don't mean confidence. An agent cannot be sure whether the services per-formed satisfy its clients or not. Especially when more than one agent has the samecapabilities to provide the services, all of them contest for the opportunity, whichowned by one, all the others lost. Knowing that when it fails, the client will neverget satisfying services which it should have, no matter whether this agent has e-nough confidence to per form successfully. So, action entrusting should be done ac-cording to certain rules or strategies. From social behaviors of agents, the conceptof self-confidence degree of agent's behaviors is introduced in this paper. Some mo-dification rules for self-confidence degree of behaviors which agents should meetin multi-agent systems are also characterized. Finally an action entrusting algo-rithm is designed, which provides a feasible and reasonable solution for the designof actual multi-agent systems.
