Self- Integration and Agent Compatibility

This position paper addresses the issue of agent compatibility in the context of self-aware microsystems (SAMs), which are SISSY systems with self-awareness capabilities. SAMs are designed to adapt their behaviour and collaborate with other agents in multi-agent settings. Achieving compatibility and effective collaboration between agents pose significant challenges, such as detecting incompatibility and discerning it from malicious behaviour. We present our concept of agent compatibility, highlight future challenges, and propose directions for future research in this area. By focusing on agent compatibility, we aim to advance the understanding of SAMs and promote successful collaboration among agents.
