Abstract :
An innovative model of structuring agent control based on the implicit concept of transferring a portion of social power upon a series of requests for delegation being offered. Existing models are examined and evaluated. We present the concept of social power as a resource that is exchanged within an agent group instead of a static power structure or one based on dynamic rank. Evely time an agent commands another agent, the power structure within the agent group is redistributed Providing intuitive validation, our simulation results for a single agent using our model of power generation and decay are explored.
