Multi-agent Coalition Formation based on Clonal Selection
نویسنده
چکیده
Coordination and cooperation of artificial autonomous agents is activity for effective problems solution. Coalition formation is by one of cooperative mechanisms used in multi-agent systems. Various approaches of multi-agent coalition formation ensure coalition stability, optimal allocation of sources and payoff distribution for efficient achievement of individual or collective goals. The paper identifies current problems in multi-agent coalition formation and investigates properties and mechanisms of human immune system that can be the inspiration for solving some of these problems. Further directions in the research of exploitation artificial immune-based algorithms for multi-agent coalition formation are mentioned.

Immunity as Inspiration for Elimination of Oil Spills Multi-Agent Coalition Formation with B-Cell Algorithm
Stability of water ecosystems is often disturbed by dangerous chemicals – products of human activities having negative economical and environmental impact. Oil spills are typical examples of these dangerous chemicals. They are eliminated with different strategies, e. g. self-cleaning of water surface, usage of booms, collectors of oil spills or autonomous robots. This paper investigates the app...

متن کاملMulti-Robot Coalition Formation (REGULAR PAPER)
As the community strives towards autonomous multi-robot systems, there is a need for these systems to autonomously form coalitions to complete assigned missions. Numerous coalition formation algorithms have been proposed in the software agent literature. Algorithms exist that form agent coalitions in both super additive and non-super additive environments. The algorithmic techniques vary from n...
متن کاملDynamic Coalition Formation Based on Multi-sided Negotiation
The coalition formation is an important aspect of multi-agent negotiation and cooperation. Based on the Bilateral Shapley-Value, a multi-sided eigenvalue is presented by using the reference of n-person stochastic cooperative game. It is obvious when multisided eigenvalue have superadditivity, rational agents will combine to one coalition. A dynamic coalition formation algorithm is constructed b...
متن کاملCoalition Formation Problem: New Multi-Agent Methods with Preference Models
Current multi-agent coalition formation methods present two major problems. First, some of these methods can be applied only to cooperative multi-agent systems; second, the algorithms proposed may fail in the formation of the coalitions. This article proposes two methods for problems of agent coalition formation in cooperative and noncooperative multi-agent systems. These methods are based on a...
