Abstract

The use of agent description and discovery (ADD) for multi-agent service description/discovery games is discussed. The task of ADD is to connect requesters of agent-based services with the agent services they need. Agents are comprised of content and functions, but the only medium agents have to describe the services they offer or seek is an information medium, a language. The cost of selfish description can be as high as the number of terms that a service provider is allowed to use to describe its service, and the lowest cost is typically achieved when the ADD system only allows agents to use one description term for each service.
