Mutual compensation based communication support agent in “man-machine-man system”

Previously we have addressed a ´man-machine system´ as two agents and accomplished a certain degree of effectiveness. We extend the framework to a three agent model for a `man-machine-man system´. This concept includes two humans and one artifact. When it was unacceptable to attain a target relationship for two humans, a support-agent which stands on mutual compensation could supplement their relationship. We suggest this method and construct a three agent model equivalent to a pair of humans and one machine which supports the communication between two humans. By the medium of computer simulation we observe and analyze this agent model. In our model, an agent which has incomplete information toward other agents can perform cooperative work. In the results of computer simulations, coupled triple agents show the effectiveness of our system
