Abstract:

The paper proposes an approach for multi-agent simulation of intelligent agent teams’ collaboration and competition. This approach is for representing the complex processes ongoing in different subject domains by using various types of agent teams and their interactions. Teams can be in relations of indifference, antagonistic and non-antagonistic competing or (and) various kinds of cooperation, and may adapt to the actions of opponents or collaborators. The domain- independent multi-agent framework and common simulation environment are proposed. The suggested approach differs from other related approaches by attempting to formalize main components needed for agent    teamwork and team collaboration    and competition. The approach is applicable for the tasks of competitive activity in commerce, counteraction in the Internet, simulation of rescue operations, coalition actions, military conflicts, etc. We consider the theoretical models, implementation and investigations of the proposed approach on an example of simulation of distributed Internet attacks and defense.
