ARES 2: A Tool for Evaluating Cooperative and Competitive Multi-agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Agent Rescue Emergency Simulator (ARES) system provides a simplified rescue scenario similar to Robocup Rescue for use in the educational or research fields when evaluating multi-agent systems. The environment within ARES abstracts ideas down to key features while still allowing for a wide range of scenarios requiring different skills to be presented to the agents. This is achieved by combining different features together and changing the configuration of the environmental rules incorporated in ARES. With the simplified environment ARES can be used for quick evaluations of concepts based upon the results from a range of different configurations of the system. The results from these tests can be used as a basis for further experiments when transitioning the work from a theoretical level to more real world scenarios, where the requirement for a more complex system is needed. Our newest version of ARES, ARES 2, allows for scenarios that range from cooperation between all agents to strong competitiveness of agents or even agent teams.

Photovoltaic Microgrids Control by the Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems
This paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. Balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. The voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. Limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
متن کاملA decentralized multi-level leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain
This paper develops a decentralized leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain problem in which a new chain as the leader enters a market with one existing supply chain as a follower. Both chains produce an identical product, customer demand is inelastic and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity-based model. The leader wants to shape his network and set a...
متن کاملAn Overview of Cooperative and Competitive Multiagent Learning
Multi-agent systems (MASs) is an area of distributed artificial intelligence that emphasizes the joint behaviors of agents with some degree of autonomy and the complexities arising from their interactions. The research on MASs is intensifying, as supported by a growing number of conferences, workshops, and journal papers. In this survey we give an overview of multi-agent learning research in a ...
متن کاملOptimization of majority protocol for controlling transactions concurrency in distributed databases by multi-agent systems
In this paper, we propose a new concurrency control algorithm based on multi-agent systems which is an extension of majority protocol. Then, we suggest a clustering approach to get better results in reliability, decreasing message passing and algorithm’s runtime. Here, we consider n different transactions working on non-conflict data items. Considering execution efficiency of some different...
