Abstract
In this paper, we study conditions of emergence of the phenomenon of collective behavior of agents in large multi-agent systems. Agents act in the two-dimensional (2D) Cellular Automata (CA) space, where each of them takes part in spatial Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD) game. The system modeled by 2D CA evolves in discrete moments of time, where each cell-agent changes its state according to a currently assigned to its rule. Rules are initially assigned randomly to cells-agents, but during iterated game agents may replace their current rules by rules used by their neighbors. While each agent is oriented on a maximization of its own profit in the game, we are interested in answering the question if and when a phenomenon of global cooperation in a large set of agents is possible. We present results of the experimental study showing conditions and degree of emerging such cooperation.
