从现实世界到MAS世界——基于MAS理论的复杂系统建模思想探讨

Mapping real world into MAS world ——discussion on complex systems modeling based on MAS

首先对Agent及MAS的本质特性进行分析,指出Agent在本质上是具有一定理性的意识系统,MAS则是一种基于涌现的分布式问题求解模式。其次,重点讨论了MAS与复杂系统的关系,指出MAS与其在本质上的相关性。最后,通过揭示MAS建模思想所反映出的世界观,将MAS建模的意义扩展到自然系统、社会系统、生态系统等广泛的现实世界,从而得出,在对各类复杂系统进行分析的过程中,从现实世界映射到MAS世界是直观、合理、可行的。

With the discussion on the essential characters inherent in agents and MAS, we point out agents are limited-rational conscious entities and MAS are distributed problem solving patterns based on emergence. In succession, by contrast with complex systems, we find MAS are coherent with complexity and intelligence in nature. Lastly, the world view which MAS depend on is extracted——a viewpoint from absolute to relative, close to open, centralized to distributed. It provides an important angle of view to depict both natural systems、social systems、ecosystems, and etc. Consequently, it’s natural and reasonable to map real world into MAS world during system researches.
