The Edge of Chaos

The point of maximal complexity.  The system is extremely unstable.  They have the ability to exhibit emergent computation.  http://vserver1.cscs.lsa.umich.edu/~spage/ONLINECOURSE/R3CA2.pdf   Seems related to older ideas.

Trying a new theme

See how I like this new theme called responsive.  I think I will like it better because it is wider.  However, I switched back to the grunge wall because it was taking too long to set up…

Integrating Agent Models

In my earlier post I was considering combining game theory and measure theory methodologies of MAS and swarm systems.  From my research into this topic I found this paper https://jacobstechnology.com/acs/pdf/ESOA06Hybrid.pdf.  Although it seems like the people who published it are respectable, the paper has never been cited.  Which is strange since it is an interesting topic.  They came… Continue reading Integrating Agent Models

Measuring Complexity

I would like to be able to measure the complexity of agents to determine whether a system is really a swarm or if it is a multiagent learning system etc.  A discussion of complexity measures: http://tinyurl.com/measurecomplex.  By knowing the type of system an outside agent can better adapt to, learn from, or manipulate the system.

Combining Swarms and large MAL systems

I would like to see if game theory and measure theory (in terms of swarms) can be merged to gain a better theoretical understanding of large complex systems of learning agents.  I have been reading http://tinyurl.com/mathswarm which describes some of the mathematics behind swarms.  Based on this article they use measure theory to model swarm so I… Continue reading Combining Swarms and large MAL systems

Swarms

Innovation and learning seemed to develop more quickly with a larger population. Like comparing europe to the native americans. So I think that it would be wise to try to see how large groups of agents who were grouped doing different tasks whether innovation would emerge. Like have a huge “soup” of agents and have… Continue reading Swarms

Scope of Swarm

At what point does the macrophenoma of a MAS appear as a swarm like behavior?  Then in a large multiagent learning problem could the agents be viewed as swarms instead of agents?  Can an algorithm be created to discover the swarm behavior of a large system composed of MARL agents?

Importing posts

Well I was able to export the wp_posts table from phpMyAdmin at freehostingcloud.  Then I had to change some of the id’s in the exported sql so that they didn’t conflict with those that were already used.  I imported the data into wp_posts.  Then I ran this sql UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, ‘http://drew.freehostingcloud.com’,’http://drew.heliohost.org’);… Continue reading Importing posts

Old site

Hi, I used to be at drew.freehostingcloud.com and I had to switch because for some reason freehostingcloud took my website and a bunch of other people’s sites on Sunday.  I even got on the forum to see what was up (http://www.freehostingcloud.com/forum/thread-can-t-access-website).  Thankfully I was able to still access the backend and get all of the… Continue reading Old site

Research Idea

“Less work has been done on formal methods of decomposing tasks (and behaviors) into subtasks (sub-behaviors) appropriate for multi-agent solutions, how agents’ sub-behaviors interact, and how and when learning of these sub-behaviors may be parallelized.” (An Overview of Cooperative and Competitive Multiagent Learning) I think that this would be an interesting problem to explore. I… Continue reading Research Idea
