....The agent typically learns a policy, a mapping from states to actions that specifies the action the agent should take in any given state. Most work in reinforcement learning uses the Markov Decision Process This good guy e#ect, modeled using brownie points is described in detail by Glass [4] and Glass and Grosz [5] MDP) framework. The Markov property states that the probability of a transition from one state to another depends solely on the current state and action, not on the history of actions an agent has taken or states it has visited [8] Stochastic games, also known as ....

....intervals. 4. 3 Homogeneous Communities of Agents Using These experiments investigate the behavior of communities of agents in which all the agents use the same value of v for their cuto# function CF(v) Agents using a lower value of v will be less socially responsible in the sense used by Glass [4], that is, they will tend to default more on their group commitments, because it requires a lower incentive for them to be willing to renege on the group.
