X-Machines for Agent-Based Modeling: FLAME Perspectives
the agent can perform. These strategies are specific to certain decisions or
general. Programmatically these strategies are represented as rules and are
converted into functions to calculate the next move of the agent. There are
two research streams intp which similar agent games can be divided:
Competitive Equilibrium Theory. Agents only respond to signals from
the environments, like how the price affects the agent’s buying capability.
Computational Mechanism Design. Assumes agents respond in a game
theoretic manner by modeling the effect of their actions on actions of
other agents in the system.
In multi-agent systems, the two research streams have to be combined into
one, because agents are not only responding to environment conditions but
other agents in the system as well.
