Table 1.
There are three Agentsets of the team members: Supervision Group Agentset, Exploration Group Agentset, Evaluation Group Agentset, and a Rabbits Agentset, whose coordinates (RCoordinate) compose the given problem need to be solved.
| Agentset | Variables |
|---|---|
| Supervision Group Agentset | SKP = SKPnormal + SKPcreative |
| SKNnormal | |
| SKNcreative | |
| SC | |
| SE (control variable) | |
| Exploration Group Agentset | EKP = EKPnormal + EKPcreative |
| EKNnormal | |
| EKNcreative | |
| EC | |
| EE (control variable) | |
| Rabbits Agentset | RCoordinate |
| Global | tc |
| KP = KP normal + KPcreative | |
KP is the total knowledge pool, from which items are stochastically selected into SKP and EKP, which are the knowledge pool of supervision group and exploration group; KP is also decided the range of the “World”. SKNnormal, SKNcreative, EKNnormal, EKNcreative are the variables controlled how many items are in the corresponding knowledge pool arrays. SC and EC represent the frequency of communication of members in each group. In the experiments, Evaluation Group Agentset and Efficiency variable (SE, EE) are controlled and all of their characters are set up at the moderate level. The team creativity variable (tc) is calculated in the experiment and output as the dependent variable.
