Abstract

Consensus Games (CGs) are a novel approach to modelling coalition formation in multi-agent systems inspired by threshold models in sociology. In a CG, each agent's degree of commitment to the coalitions in which it may participate is expressed as a quorum function. Agents are willing to form a coalition only if a quorum consensus can be achieved amongst all agents of the coalition.
