Abstract
Various researchers in Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) have suggested that it would be worthwhile to isolate "aspects of cooperative behavior," general rules that would cause agents to act in ways conducive to cooperation. The hypothesis is that when agents act in certain ways (e.g., share information, act in predictable ways, defer globally constraining choices), it will be easier for them to carry out effective joint action. Another kind of cooperative behavior, less explored in the literature, is when agents independently alter the environment to make it easier for everyone to function effectively. Cooperative behavior of this kind might be to put away a hammer that one finds lying on the floor, knowing that another agent will be able to find it more easily later on. In this paper we are concerned with cooperation of this latter type, state-changing behavior that improves the environment for everyone. We examine the effect that a specific "cooperativity rule" has on agents...
