A MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM FOR FOREST TRANSPORT ACTIVITY PLANNING

Multi-Agent Transport Planning

We discuss a distributed transport planning problem with competitive autonomous actors that carry out time-constrained pick-up delivery orders from customers. The agents have to find conflict-free routes to execute a series of orders they have accepted. Hatzack and Nebel [2] were the first to suggest that finding such a conflict-free schedule can be reduced to solving a job shop scheduling prob...

A Multi-Agent System for Planning Meetings

In this work we address the problem of arranging meetings for several participants taking into consideration constraints for personal agendas, transportation schedules and accommodation availability. We have implemented a multi-agent system that solves the problem. Building such applications implies to consider two main issues: collecting information from diierent sources on the Internet, and s...

A Distributed Online Multi-Agent Planning System

The gap between planning and execution is still an open problem that, despite several tries from members of both automated planning and autonomous agents communities, remains without a proper general-purpose solution. We aim to tackle this problem by using a framework for the development of multi-agent systems in both the decentralised multi-agent planning stages, and the execution stages, prov...

Nowadays, the globalization is one of the most significant phenomena of contemporary life. There are many debates about the real meaning of the globalization, its roots, effects and future. Among the most important aspects of the globalization is surely the global transportation system. In this framework it is clear how the availability of an advanced integrated transportation system, for movin...
