Abstract

We study the evolution of distributed multi-agent search systems where the autonomous agents may cooperate among each other, and/or with a human operator, in order to achieve the system's objective. The cooperation is facilitated by means of information sharing among the autonomous agents and/or human operator, which has the purpose of improving the effectiveness of the autonomous agents. The evolution of cooperative systems is modeled using discrete-state, continuous-time Markov chains, and a technique for measuring and quantification of cooperation within such systems is proposed.
