Abstract
It is important to use agents’ behavioral history in a multiagent system effectively as a way to realize advanced service organization / adjustment in order to make the multiagent system adaptable to users and environments. However, it is difficult for multiagent system to keep and manage its behavioral history and to reflect the history to the entire system’s behavior effectively after some task executions in agent workplace. To cope with this difficulty, in this paper, we propose a new multiagent framework to improve performance of the agents’ cooperative works by using the behavioral history of each agent. A new architecture and some mechanisms are introduced to the agent repository in the framework. We designed and implemented a new agent repository based on the proposal, and some results of experiments using the prototype system show the effectiveness of our approach.
