Planning in an Artificial Ecosystem

概要

Doing optimal planning in a competitive environment of multiple agents is mostly a highly dynamical process which can be characterized as a tradeoff between time and costs. We refer to this as a tradeoff between deliberation and reactiveness. Deliberative planning corresponds to cost minimization for the plan execution and reactive planning to a guarantee of plan execution. Goal-driven selfish agents compete for resources (e.g. food) in an ever changing dynamic environment. In order to reach those resources agents have to do planning. Agents have different planning characteristics between extremly deliberative and extremly reactive. Very deliborative agents might be confronted with a changed environment when executing their plan while very reactive agents might have too high plan execution costs which can inhibit plan execution. Executing a plan is connected with costs. Fulfilling a goal gives a payoff to an agent. Even taking no actions is costly for the agents although on a much lower scale.
