A Task Allocation Algorithm Base on Improved Contract Net Protocol under the Dynamic Environment
LI Xin-lian · Science Technology and Engineering · 2013
Task-allocation is an important research direction of multi-agent system( MAS). Task-allocation algorithm based on traditional contract net protocol has low efficiency in dynamic environment. However,dynamic environment is popular in practice. To apply the task-allocation algorithm to dynamic environment,an improved contract net protocol is proposed by using the credit of task and the balance rate of load. The simulation results show that the method proposed does make the revenue increase and reduce the time needed for the task accomplishment.
