Abstract

We deal with a multiagent system where the agents decide with whomto cooperate on the basis ofmultiple criteria. The system models these criteria with the help of propositions. The agents rate the propositions with value-vectors to model different degrees of agreement with the propositions. In the system the agents adapt their values via different strategies. We will examine the influence of the number of propositions and the influence of different adaptation strategies for the performance of the systemin a job and task allocation domain. The results show that high levels of cooperation can be reached through self-adapting agents.
