Abstract

The global objective of open multiagent systems might be in conflict with individual preferences of rational agents participating in such systems. Addressing this problem, we propose a mechanism able to attach incentives to agent actions such that the global utility of the system is improved. Such incentives are dynamically adjusted to each agent's preferences by using institutional agents called incentivators.
