A Survey of Multi-agent Coordination

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...

Variable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems

In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...

A Survey: Multi-Agent Coordination in the Meeting-Scheduling Problem

Coordination, Cooperation and Conflict Resolution in Multi-Agent Systems

In this paper, we present a condensed survey of multiagent systems, with special emphasis on cooperation coordination, conflict resolution and closely related issues; issues that are critical for the development of large-scale, distributed complex software systems. We then present three different cooperative MAS architecture types, discuss their drawbacks and propose the need for a service driv...

Coordination and Cognition of a Multi Agent System - a Literature Survey

The Multi agent system has been emerged as the most dominant research wing in the broad domain of artificial intelligence in recent time. The researchers endeavored to make several architectures to construct multi agent system with all its rational properties like autonomy, proactiveness, reactivity and social ability. Communication, cooperation and cognition are the fields relating multi agent...
