Collaborating Agents in Distributed Networks and Emergence of Collective Knowledge

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3213))

Abstract

We describe how a set of agents can collaborate in E-marketing- in particular, we consider E- Auction. We also give a theoretical basis to detect the collaboration termination, without indefinite cycling, We also discus the possibility of self-organized criticality among interacting agents in which there is stochastic emergence of collective knowledge due to agent’s internal reasoning, as well as, incremental knowledge obtained from interactions with other agents.
