Coordination, Cooperation and Conflict Resolution in Multi-Agent Systems

چکیده
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 driven framework for the development of cooperative multi agent systems.

Conflict Resolution for Multi- Agent Hybrid Systems
A conflict resolution architecture for multi-agent hybrid systems with emphasis on Air Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) is presented. In such systems, conflicts arise in the form of potential collisions which are resolved locally by inter-agent coordination. This results in a decentralized architecture in which safety issues are resolved locally and central agencies, such as Air Traffic Contro...
متن کاملVoltage 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 ...
متن کاملMulti-Level Conflict in Multi-Agent Systems
Conflict in multi-agent systems is ubiquitous. Research often focuses on the process of resolving conflicts between different agents. We call this the inter-agent conflict resolution process. However, in complex problem solving agents the process of resolving conflicts with other agents impacts local problem solving as well as deals made with other agents. This leads to the need for an intra-ag...
متن کاملCost-balanced Cooperation Protocol in Multi-agent Robotic Systems - Parallel and Distributed Systems, 1996. Proceedings., 1996 International Conference on
This paper proposes a cooperation protocol based on the cost-balanced strategy for the Object-Sorting Task in multi-agent robotic systems. The protocol coordinates agents for carrying objects to destinations eficiently and effectively. Each agent autonomously makes subjective optimal decision, then the coordination algorithm resolves their conflicts by balancing the load, which is measured in t...
متن کاملMultiagent coordination and cooperation in a distributed dynamic environment with limited resources
Coordination and cooperation are two major concerns in Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) systems. How can a group of geographically distributed agents properly allocate a set of tasks among themselves while satisfying different types of constraints? Also, in an environment of limited resources, how can agents resolve resource conflicts and effectively accomplish tasks? We have examined ...
