Promoting cooperation in service-oriented MAS through social plasticity and incentives

► We propose a model to promote cooperation in decentralized service discovery scenarios where agent is situated in a network based on social preferences. ► The model integrates structural changes and the use of incentives to promote and maintain cooperation even in scenarios where there is a large number of non-cooperative agents. ► The model does not rely on third parties to take decisions. Each agent relies on local information generated during the service discovery process to take decisions about its neighbors and its behavior.
