Integrating insurance services, trust and risk mechanisms into multi-agent systems
journal contribution
posted on 2006-01-01, 00:00 authored by Y H Lam, Zili ZhangZili Zhang, Kok-Leong OngIn multi-agent systems, there is often the need for an agent to cooperate with others so as to ensure that a given task is achieved timely and cost effectively. Currently multi-agent systems maximize this through mechanisms such as coalition formation, trust and risk assessments, etc. In this paper, we incorporate the concept of insurance with trust and risk mechanisms in multi-agent systems. The novelty of this proposal is that it ensures continuous sharing of resources while encouraging expected utility to be maximized in a dynamic environment. Our experimental results confirm the feasibility of our approach.
