Dynamic Capability Delegation Model for MAS, Architecture and Protocols in CSCW Environment

The purpose of delegation is improving resource share and realizing collaboration in CSCW environment. Nowadays agent-based collaboration in multi-agent system lacks of delegation model including formalization and relative mechanisms, especially for variable dynamic collaboration scene. Based on a new proposed concept agent collaboration scene (abbr. ACS), this paper specifies a dynamic agent-based capability delegation model supporting temporal characters and constraint rules, called by capability delegation model for multi-agent system (abbr. CDM for MAS), as well as representing hybrid architecture and key protocol functions related to delegation. The model solves the issue of agent´s capability oneness and inflexibility, and realizes dynamic capabilities delegation between agents in an actual application agent-based text information retrieval system, enhancing agent cooperation efficiency and security
