Abstract:

We present an agent-based model of peer review built on three entities - the paper, the scientist and the confer- ence. The systems is implemented on a BDI platform (Jason) that allows us to define a rich model of scoring, evaluating and selecting papers for conferences. Some of the reviewers apply a strategy (called “rational cheat- ing”) aimed to prevent papers better than their own to be accepted. We show how a programme committee update based on disagreement control can remove them.
