Dynamic Behavior of Multiagents with Subjective Cooperative Relations
Conference paper
First Online:
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze scaling behavior of the system based on subjective cooperative relations. In our previous works, we have analyzed the efficiency of the system based on subjective cooperative relations and behavior of the system under several settings of agents as basic characteristics of the system. According to the results of further experiments, we show several interesting characteristics of the system based on subjective cooperative relations.
