Abstract：
This article focuses on the emergence of cooperation in societies of self-interested agents. In particular, it introduces a mechanism based on indirect-stigmergic-interactions between agents moving in an environment, to express the likeliness of finding cooperative partners. On the one hand, agents that find themselves cooperating with others emit pheromones in their current location, expressing the presence of agents willing to cooperate. On the other hand, agents that sense pheromones tend to move towards regions with a higher pheromone concentration. Results show that this mechanism leads to the emergence of spatial regions where cooperation can be effectively sustained, and in which agents can overall get better payoffs than those agents not taking into account pheromones in their choices.
摘要：
本文着重于自利代理人社会中合作的出现。特别是,它引入了一种基于在环境中移动的试剂之间的间接刺激相互作用的机制，表达寻找合作伙伴的可能性。一方面,发现自己与他人合作的特工在他们当前的位置发射信息素，表达愿意合作的代理人的存在。另一方面,感知信息素的试剂倾向于向信息素浓度较高的区域移动。结果表明，这种机制导致了可以有效维持合作的空间区域的出现，与那些在选择中不考虑信息素的代理商相比，代理商总体上可以获得更好的回报。
