Asynchronous multi-agent multisorted systems

An asynchronous multi-agent multisorted system (AMMS) is a network of threshold elements (agents) operating in continuous time. The agents are either active or passive. When active, an agent generates a signal of certain type (color). The signal is perceived by all agents with inputs of the same color. The agent has a potential that changes under the exciting or inhibitory effect of signals; it is active only if its potential exceeds the threshold. Changes in the agent activity are events that break the timeline into clock periods — time intervals within which the state of the system does not change. The sequence of states of a system is called its behavior. The dependence of the autonomous network behavior on the network parameter values is studied.
