A Proposal for Modelling Agrifood Chains as Multi Agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Viewing the modelling of agrifood chains (AFC) from a multi agent systems (MAS) point of view opens up numerous avenues for research while building upon existing advancements in the state of the art. This paper explores di↵erent aspects in MAS research areas in consensus and cooperation (argumentation, negotiation, normative systems, multi agent resource allocation and social a↵ects) and provides insights into how viewing classical AFC problems from this perspective can bring new perspectives and research avenues.

متن کاملToward a methodological framework for agent-based modelling and simulation of supply chains in a mass customization context
In a dynamic customer-centric supply chain context, classic forecasting models turn out to have a limited applicability. In order to estimate the key performance indices of these Supply Chains and to facilitate their management, it is necessary to use more elaborate tools such as a simulation. However building simulation of customer-centric supply chains is no trivial matter. It requires the el...
متن کاملMarket power influential approach using game theory in a two competing supply chains with multi-echelons under centralized/decentralized environments
This paper is considering the competition between two multi-echelon supply-chains on price and service under balance and imbalance of market power between the chains which are analyzing through Nash and Stackelberg game approach. The problem is categorized as the centralized or decentralized structure of each chain, which means a few different possible scenarios are developing based on the Nash...
متن کاملAdaptive Neural Network Method for Consensus Tracking of High-Order Mimo Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...
