The Effects of Inter-Agent Variation on Developing Stable and Robust Teams

In the problem of task allocation, form of probabilistic response tendencies can be used to redundancy refers to extra agents beyond the minimum achieve redundancy when an MAS is working on a problem number of required agents that have the capability to perform in which experience is beneficial. We assume that the MAS a given task. Particularly in problems where experience is a response threshold system (Bonabeau, Theraulaz, and is beneficial, redundancy provides an MAS with a Deneubourg 1998) and that previous experience on a task backup pool of ready actors if the primary actors are unavailable improves an agent's future performance on that task.
