Feng Liu · Computer Technology and Development · 2010
Contract net is a communication and collaboration protocol for each of Agent in the distributed problem solving environment.Each Agent with the knowledge,abilities and strategies is always dynamic in the process of solving problems.In order to obtain a collaborative model that is practical and easy to implement,this paper analyzes the shortcomings of the traditional classical contract net and improves them.We had a reasonable selection to the bidders using an acquaintance model.Agent model's proactive perception characteristic improved the passive acceptance of the task Agent.In order to prevent the selfishness in the bidding process and balance the load of each contract holder,introduced the intelligent parameters such as reliance,perception and activity.Proved through experience,the improved contract net reduced the network traffic and improved collaboration of the multi-Agent system efficiency.
