“…This inductive approach leads to a mean attendance around the threshold of 60%, with bar attendance values fluctuating around that threshold. An approach to model the problem using cognitive agents with emotions was made in [2]. The work is based on the Belief Desire Theory of Emotions (BDTE) [17] in which beliefs and desires are annotated by a degree that is updated by two operations, the Belief-Belief and the Belief-Desire comparators.…”

Emotions have attracted much interest in the MAS community, mainly due to their significance in creating simulations that more accurately predict crowd behaviours. Undoubtedly, infusion of agents with artificial emotions has to be supported by current psychology theories. The present work describes a formal model of artificial emotions based on the dimensionality theory, together with simulation results of an initial experimental evaluation. The model includes interesting aspects of emotions, such as emotion changes due to perception, long term affects due to mood, and emotion contagion due to social interactions.

“…These mechanisms act as "internal sensors" to the body, affecting perception and monitoring desire fulfilment, thus model emotions. In [2], DBTE agents model their desire to visit the bar, and update their belief, according to a strategy based on bar attendance. Strategy selection is based on their degree of belief in the adopted strategy.…”

Coordination of several agents in accessing a limited resource is a common problem among various systems. In the absence of a central coordinator, the primary challenge of the problem is to bring equilibrium among agents in accessing a limited shared resource. The El Farol Bar Problem is the generic description of this problem. In this paper, we devised a new two-dimensional approach called Social Coordination (SoCo). In the first dimension, we define a new function, called Effect(), that plays a determinative role in choosing the strategy for the current action. In the second dimension, we define a new social coordination constraint that boosts the system to achieve the entire equilibrium, in which near optimum status in social and individual utilities are reached without any starvation cases. SoCo not only attempts to improve the social utility but also considers the individual utility and starvation as the optimization goals. The simulation results show that SoCo improves social utility by 57.61% compared to similar approaches. The simulations demonstrate that the maximum starvation length of agents in SoCo is 7.93 times less than similar methods.
