Why understanding MAPs is important Sample Clauses

Why understanding MAPs is important. We make a distinction between two general categories of multiagent agreement problems. The first we call technological MAPs. An example of this category is the distributed commit problem from above. In technological MAPs the agents are often intentionally seeking agreement. In contrast, in what we call sociological MAPs, agents are not necessarily intentionally seeking agreement. A state of agreement emerges through agents responding to other, possibly local, stimuli. A great example of this is linguistic agreement. Individuals are maximizing their ability to communicate with their local neighborhood – their family and friends. Through these local interaction a global phenomenon emerges, that of agreement between all individuals, even though any two individuals might never have met before. We believe that studying MAPs from both of these general categories will yield fundamental insights that span both categories. The impact of this research would be to provide better insight into MAPs as well as allow for cross-fertilization of ideas between categories.
