چکیده

Multiagent resource allocation is a growing area of research at the interface of Economics and Computer Science. It encapsulates many different aspects from resource allocation raging from economical, game theoretical, to purely computational. This work concerns the computational aspect of resource allocation, particularly, the complex combinatorial problems. Besides the extensive theoretical work and besides the raising number of practical applications, many fundamental problems in multiagent resource allocation still lack proper solutions. Here, it shown how a fully declarative and highly expressive logic programming paradigm, Answer Set Programming, can be used for providing general and flexible solutions of these problems in a compact and declarative manner.

Automated Resource Allocation in Business Processes with Answer Set Programming

Human resources are of central importance for executing and supervising business processes. An optimal resource allocation can dramatically improve undesirable consequences of resource shortages. However, existing approaches for resource allocation have some limitations, e.g., they do not consider concurrent process instances or loops in business processes, which may greatly alter resource requ...

DISTRIBUTED CONSTRAINT OPTIMIZATION FOR MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS by Pragnesh

To coordinate effectively, multiple agents must reason and communicate about the interactions between their individual local decisions. Distributed planning, distributed scheduling, distributed resource allocation and distributed task allocation are some examples of multiagent problems where such reasoning is required. In order to represent these types of automated reasoning problems, researche...
