“…Agent l t must give the necessary information about his/her actions. The idea is as follows: If ap t = sap l t ∪ ap t−1 is a new common action plan at time t then any change in the calculus obtained by formulae (7) and (8) must be revealed to the other agents:…”

“…Finally, the problem to be resolved is to select a subset of actions, also called an action plan, from the agents' actions under constraints such as respecting a predefined cost and a predefined degree of satisfaction. When the agents share all their knowledge before collective action, the problem can be stated as a multi-objective optimization problem [7]. When the number of actions is very large the resolution of this optimization problem clearly raises a combinatorial problem [10].…”

We consider the situation where a group of agents is involved in the achievement of a common goal. Each agent owns a set of actions that are partial solutions for the problem to be solved. Different agents may have the same actions. In order to decide which action to select from the various agents, actions are assessed using a set of attributes. These attributes measure the extent to which the actions satisfy the common objective. The problem of action selection becomes more complex if we consider that agents do not necessarily know each others' actions, which complicates the coordination of joint actions. Interactions between agents may be affected by antagonistic personal interests. The more actions are selected from an agent, the greater his/her budget. Based on a Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework and a fuzzy model that links actions to the satisfaction of objectives, this paper examines the problem of collective selection of the necessary actions to achieve a goal. Only information necessary for the progress of the collective action is shared, and collective and personal goals coexist and are to be taken into account.

To properly treat this kind of model, we have relied on the research work presented in [37] regarding qualitative analyses.…”

The design of mechatronic systems involves several technical and scientific disciplines. It is often difficult to anticipate, at the outset, the consequences of design decisions on the ultimate effectiveness of such complex systems, in which case the evaluation process is required to support the designers each time engineering choices must be made or justified. Since designers may belong to different technical and scientific cultures however, their understanding of both the design stakes and the evaluation process is too often biased. Moreover, design choices take place in an uncertain context and according to multiple criteria, some of which may be contradictory. In order to track the consequences of design decisions, we are proposing a conceptual data model to perform evaluations within the MBSE framework of Systems Engineering. We then proceed by relying on the relationships demonstrated by such a model to identify the potential impacts of design choices on future product performance. Since data available during the conceptual phase of the design are typically uncertain or imprecise, an original research protocol is extended to a qualitative impact analysis for the purpose of highlighting the most promising alternative system design solutions (ASDS). An example in the mechatronics field serves to illustrate our proposals.
