开放Agent社会的框架模型研究综述

A Survey of Framework Model of Open Agent Society

开放Agent社会是一种多Agent系统,其中的Agent是由不同所有者开发的,具有不同的目的和利益。A-gent的异构性、冲突的个体目标以及可能与系统规范的不一致性是这种系统的主要特征。因此,这种系统的活动需要一个框架模型进行管理,以进行协调控制和引导全局行为的发生,同时保证个体成员的自主性。本文对开放Agent社会的框架模型的研究和应用现状进行了归纳总结,分析了几种有代表性的理论框架和软件实现。最后,提出了现有的问题和未来的研究方向。

Open Agent Societies are multiagent systems composed of self-interested software agents that have been developed by different parties. Characteristic features are agent heterogeneity, conflicting individual goals and a possi- bility of non-conformance to the specifications of the systems Consequently, the activity of such systems needs to be governed by a framework to deal with the coordination control and integrates global aims and autonomy requirements of its participants. This paper surveys the research and application status of the framework model of Open Agent So- ciety, Several representative theoretic frameworks and software implementations are introduced and analyzed. Final- ly, the eaisting problems and the future researching directions are presented.
