Abstract

Multiagent systems have been used to model and study social systems. Such studies have focused on cooperation and coordination dilemmas. The goal was to investigate how a population of agents could escape those dilemmas. Typically those studies assume large populations either fixed size or infinite. However, when we introduce variable sized population, a new risk arises consisting on population extinction, which is a stable point of the corresponding dynamics. We present the Energy Based Evolutionary Algorithm, a model where agents are born, interact, reproduce and die. Interaction is mediated by some game which is the sole means of acquiring energy needed for reproduction. In this paper we show that when an agent is capable of selecting its partners based on knowledge of successful interactions, the population is able to survive longer when compared with random partner selection. We present results using a set of well known games.
