Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Synthetic approaches have been popular to uncover mechanisms for the emergence of communication. One of the computational problems for the emergence of communication is that both a message sender and a receiver need to finish acquiring behavioral functions which enable communication to happen. This report presents a mechanism that deals with this computational problem in a competitive multi-agent system. The key point of the mechanism is there exists some environmental and fatal factors which agents have to cope with immediately. Once acquiring a function to cope with the environmental factors, agents divert it to another issue and then communication emerges. Simulation results supported our insights : (1) a fatal factor in environment helps agents to emerge communication with others ; and, (2) communication brings higher fitness to agents.
