Study on the Coalition Strategy of the Coordinate Agent Based on the MAS
Li Ma · Journal of North University of China · 2007
Agent,continuously playing the active function in the distributed artificial intelligence and coordinative system,is featured with autonomy,activity,reactivity and intelligence.With the Single-agent research developing into a higher level,multi-agent system arouses more and more attention,and MAS has become the current focus in the research field.The mutual coordination and mutual service significantly contribute to the forming of greatly functional multi-agent system.MAS could be made up of either several agents with relatively low and unitary intellectual ability or a couple of complex agents combining with some other simplistic agents.Beginning with the conception, attributes and structural model of agent,this paper systematically studies the coordinative strategies during the process of agents cooperating through analyzing the Shapley and Postman algorithm on their advantages and disadvantages respectively.
