Abstract

We introduce a concise approach to teamwork evaluation on multiple levels-dealing with agent's behaviour spread and multi-agent coordination potential, and abstracting away the team decision process. The presented quantitative information-theoretic methods measure behavioural and epistemic entropy, and detect phase transitions-The edge of chaos-in team performance. The techniques clearly identify under-performing states, where a change in tactics may be warranted. This approach is a step towards a unified quantitative framework on behavioural and belief dynamics in complex multi-agent systems.
