In this talk, we discuss about simple models to study the behaviour of
interacting agents. We introduce and study various adaptive minority game
models in which agents try to improve their performances by modifying their
strategies through genetic algorithm based crossover mechanism. One aim of
this study is to find out what happens at the system as well as at the
individual agent level. Adaptation is found to improve the performance of
individual agents quite remarkably, tighten the competition among the
agents, and to drive the whole system towards maximum efficiency. Results
from four adaptative minority games and the basic minority game are
compared.
