Questions on my mind
Is there a unified perspective with in which self-interest and cooperative agents can be understood?
- Is that perspective distributed search?
How viable is it to think about emotions and power relationships as computational mechanisms making it possible to approximate the global optimal solution in a distributed way through local optimizations?
- Early work on skeptical nodes
What type of meta-level framework (with limited and bounded computational overhead) will allow us reason about coordination costs as first-class objects so that it possible to dynamically balance problem-solving activities with coordination activities?
