Title: Refinement in Agent groups Authors: Ciara Byrne & Pete Edwards Department of Computing Science, King's College, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland AB9 2UE Abstract: A group of intelligent agents may work together in order to solve a problem or achieve a common goal. If the group fails to achieve a goal, it may be able to adapt its behaviour so that such a goal can be achieved in the future. One of the ways in which the behaviour of the agent group can be changed is by refining the knowledge of individual agents.
