Knowledge Transfer Model in Collective Intelligence Theory

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 320))

Abstract

In a multi-agent environment, a series of interaction emerges that determines the flow of actions each agent should execute in order to accomplish its individual goal. Ultimately, each goal realigns to manifest the agents’ common goal. In a collective environment, these agents retain only one common goal from the start, which is achieved through a series of communication processes that involve discussions, group reasoning, decision-making and performing actions. Both the reasoning and decision-making phases diffuse knowledge in the form of proven beliefs between these agents. In this paper, we describe the concept of discussions, group reasoning and decision making, followed by its corresponding attributes in proposing a preliminary Collective Intelligence theory.
