STIMULATION OF AGENT CONFLICTS IN HYBRID INTELLIGENT MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS

Abstract

Conflicts in teams of specialists solving the problems at a round table are an integral part of the discussion process and in computer modeling of this process, it is necessary to manage conflicts by analogy with how it happens in the original. Not every conflict is destructive and requires suppression: managing a conflict in a team involves identifying a decision-making situation, if necessary, stimulating and then resolving constructive forms of conflict, as well as preventing its destructive forms. The article is devoted to the development of a method for stimulating conflicts between agents in hybrid intelligent multiagent systems which will allow the development of a conflict management subsystem, ensuring the relevance of such systems to small teams of specialists who successfully solve the problems with high combinatorial complexity, heterogeneity, underdetermination, and other NON-factors.
