Concept of Knowledge Distance

   Knowledge Distance:

            Defined as the distance in knowledge measured in terms of the

            the self-model and the alien-model of the set of all other chronobots taking part

            in the process of negotiation                    

            Can be formulated also in terms of the Exchange rate between the agents, where

            Exchange rate is more formally defined as:

      Exchange (agent x, agent y) = e  ^{( 1  /  ∑ Cji * d  ( xji ,  yji ) )} 

        where

        The summation is over all the terms C_ji * d(x_ji, y_ji) and

        C_ji is a scaling constant
