A model of absolute autonomy and power: Toward group effects

Pages 323-333 | Published online: 01 Jul 2010
 

Abstract

A model of absolute autonomy and power in agent systems is presented. This absolute sense of autonomy captures the agent's liberty over an agent's preferences. The model characterizes an affinity between autonomy and power. It is argued that agents with similar individual autonomy and power experience an adjusted level of autonomy and power due to being in a group of like agents. The model is then illustrated on the problem of task allocation.
