  • Conference paper
Trends in Practical Applications of Agents and Multiagent Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 221))

Abstract

Intense and usually stressful group decision-making has become a daily activity in the modern business environments which caused the emergence of interest in systems that allow simulation of group decision-making with agents as human representatives (surrogates). Development of representative agents is significantly enhanced through the use of methods that allow mapping of some of the most important human traits in the world of agents. These traits are emotions, personality and mood which gain importance by their direct effect on the process of individual and group decision-making. This paper presents the research results of applying the concept of patience to the emotional agents which should provide more stable and efficient group decision-making.
