Abstract: . This article focusses on the intersection of distributed machine learning and organizational design in the context of multi-agent systems. A computational approach to distributed reinforcement learning from experience and interaction is described and analyzed. According to this approach, multiple agents coordinate their actions by collectively learning appropriate instantiations of one of the most fundamental organizational structures, namely, hierarchically arranged groups of compatible...

...fuse learning into the normal activities of the agents. Another approach to coordination involves the use of reinforcement learning [2] [36], 31] 30] Under this approach, coordination is achieved by reinforcing useful and relevant actions, or group of actions through an...

...both these works, the agents do not communicate with one another and any agent treats the other agents as a part of the environment. Weiss[37] uses a variant of Holland s[17] bucket brigade algorithm for learning hierarchical organization structuring relationships in a block...
