Defining Agents Via Strategies: Towards a View of MAS as Games

摘要

In this article, we intend to characterize, at least on BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) basis, a class of games G for which there is a MAS and vice-versa. As a consequence, criteria of rationality for agents can be directly applied to players and vice-versa. Game analysis formal tools can be applied to MAS as well. The main results of this article are the following two lemmata.rnLemma I: Every MAS belonging to G is, essentially, a Game. Lemma II: Every Game can be implemented as a MAS and Equilibria are Optimal Desires Satisfaction.
