  • Abstract
    We examine emergent coordination in a network of competing Boolean agents. The agents play a so called generalized minority game where the capacity level is allowed to vary externally. We study the properties of such a system for different values of the mean connectivity K of the network, and show that the system with K = 2 shows a high degree of coordination for relatively large variations of the capacity level. We also show that for K > 2 coordination can be achieved by tuning the homogeneity parameter of the agents´ Boolean strategies
