The Effect of Alteration in Service Environments with Distributed Intelligent Agents

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3683))

Abstract

The paper presents some properties of the communication network supported by the intelligent agents. The intelligent agents were placed into network nodes and they were immobile. They were used to regulate the transfer of mobile agents from the network input, through the routing nodes and finally, towards the service processing nodes. These nodes were the programs running on the computers. A new model of distributed and collaborating intelligent agents was designed and presented. Continuous adaptation and agent’s collaboration was achieved by reinforcement Q-learning. For such a model the results show rapid tendency to reduce state time of mobile agents in the service. The obstructive effects expansion to the other agents when a change of processing capabilities in the region occurs was detected and described.
