Dynamic Capability Delegation Model for MAS, Architecture and Protocols in CSCW Environment
Zhiyong Zhang, Jiexin Pu, Shaozhong Zhang · 2006
The purpose of delegation is improving resource share and realizing collaboration in CSCW environment. Nowadays agent-based collaboration in multi-agent system lacks of delegation model including formalization and relative mechanisms, especially for variable dynamic collaboration scene. Based on a new proposed concept agent collaboration scene (abbr. ACS), this paper specifies a dynamic agent-based capability delegation model supporting temporal characters and constraint rules, called by capability delegation model for multi-agent system (abbr. CDM for MAS), as well as representing hybrid architecture and key protocol functions related to delegation. The model solves the issue of agent's capability oneness and inflexibility, and realizes dynamic capabilities delegation between agents in an actual application agent-based text information retrieval system, enhancing agent cooperation efficiency and security
