Abstract

The problem of MAS reliability is approached through representing the functioning of a MAS as a system of logical implications, and then interpreting this system as a game of deterrence. The game solutions provide indicators for the agent’s reliability, and enable in case of an agent’s failure, to select a search direction for determining the origin of the failure. The MAS reliability is increased by duplicating some agents. The impact of the duplicate’s positioning in the MAS is analysed on a particular case.
