Inconsistency of agent interaction in the process of digital ecosystem development

The research is devoted to the examination of agent interactions in digital ecosystems. The aim of the work is to identify typical behavioral patterns, determine points of conflict in interactions, and the reasons for their occurrence. The analysis of the corporate environment is applied with the identification of roles, target functions, and interactions. The object of study is digital ecosystems, while the subject is the interactions of agents within them. The results obtained can be applied to optimize management in digital environments and allow for the development of effective strategies for managing conflicts arising among participants in the digital space. The conclusions highlight the relevance of developing mechanisms for aligning agents' goals based on tools from game theory.

Keywords: digital ecosystem, multi-agent interactions, digital economy, business ecosystem, organization management.
