摘要: Agents in a multi-agent system usually use middle-agents to locate service providers. Since one central middle-agent represents single point of failure and communication bottleneck the system, therefore structure is used overcome these issues. We designed implemented called dynamic hierarchical teams that has user-defined level fault-tolerance moreover fixed scalable. prove reruns size λ vertex edge connectivity equal λ, i.e. stays connected despite - 1 failures or channels. focus on social knowledge management describing several methods can be for propagation search this structure. also test practical experiments.
