Communication efficiency in multi-agent systems

摘要: Despite the growing number of multi-agent software systems, relatively few physical systems have adopted technology. Agents that interact with a dynamic environment requirements not shared by virtual agents, including need to transfer information about world and their interaction it. The agent communication languages proven successful in based incur overheads make them impractical or infeasible for low-level data. Instead, real typically employ application specific protocols video, audio, sensory, telemetry These lack transparency portability formal consequently are limited scalability. We propose augmenting capabilities current provide efficient information, allowing backchannels between agents flexible carefully principled way. show this extension can yield significant performance increases efficiency discuss benefits incorporating into search rescue robot system.
