Title
Genetic fuzzy systems to evolve coordination strategies in competitive distributed systems
Abstract
This paper suggests an evolutionary ap- proach to design coordination strategies, a key issue in distributed intelligent systems. We focus on competitive strategies in the form of fuzzy rule-based models. The aim is to evolve data and rule bases to improve agent performance when playing in a com- petitive environment. In this situation, data for learning and tuning are rare and rule base must jointly evolve with the database. We suggest a genetic algorithm whose op- erators use variable length chromosome, a hierarchical relationship among individu- als through fitness, and a scheme that suc- cessively explore and exploits the search space along generations. Evolution of co- ordination strategies uncovers unknown and unexpected agent behaviors and allows a richer analysis of negotiation mechanisms and their role as a coordination protocol. An application concerning an electric power market illustrates the effectiveness of the approach.
