Abstract

Coordination is essential to the effective operation of multi- agent systems. Convention emergence offers a low-cost and decentralised method of ensuring compatible actions and be- haviour, without requiring the imposition of rules dictating such. In this paper, we explore the emergence of conventions within a dynamic network, and examine the effectiveness of fixed strategy agents in this context. We consider the im- portance of the dynamic nature of the system and introduce a novel heuristic, Life-Degree, to explore this.
