The agents of type
A
g
1
are generated by the agents of type
A
g
0
and are
responsible for searching for tasks for the robot represented in cyberspace by
this agent. The search is aimed at the robot that has been entrusted with many (too
many) realization tasks.
The agents of type
A
g
2
are generated by the agents of type
A
g
0
and are responsible
for searching for the robot which could take over some realization tasks from the
robot represented by that agent.
Research results refer to the following variants of research:
Variant (denoted as A) in which only the agents of type
A
g
0
exist. They may send
realization tasks only with the neighbouring agents (robots).
Variant (denoted as B) in which apart from the agents of type
AG
0
, agents of type
AG
1
exist. They are responsible for gaining tasks for a given robot.
Variant (denoted as C) in which apart from the agents of type Ag0, the agents of
type
AG
2
exist. They are responsible for searching for a robot which could take
some tasks from a given robot.
Variant (denoted as D) in which apart from the agents of type
AG
0
, the agents of
type
AG
1
and the agents of type
AG
2
exist. They are responsible for searching for
the tasks depending on the needs of a given robot (corresponding to the agent of
type
AG
0
).
Figure
5.8
presents the time of realization of 400 tasks by a group of robots for
different cases of the application of agents of types
A
g
1
and
A
g
2
. The value of the
coefficient of efficiency of the system operation defined by the model Eq.
4.1
for
similar cases is presented in Fig.
5.9
. As we can notice, the application of agents
searching for tasks (of type
A
g
1
) improves the efficiency of the system operation.
However, the introduction of agents searching only for robots which could be given
the realization task does not improve the efficiency. But only the application of both
types of agents (
A
g
1
and
A
g
2
) offers the possibility of their cooperation, and brings
