Description
Summary:This paper investigates the effect of agents coalitional strategy on their effectiveness using an evaluation approach that causes no alteration of the global system’s performance. Cooperation process is thus considered during the execution of a Multiagent System (MAS) in order to collect all necessary data for the evaluation phase. A structural analysis is then led to set instant and global assessments of the agents management and output. The observation and evaluation tools are implemented using aspect-oriented programming. We prove through experiments that they do not alter the global performance of the system regarding execution time and reached scores. The approach could then be validated as an objective evaluator of the system by judging real organizational capabilities of its agents in achieving their goals.
