Xiangming Li · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2010
The bid type of traditional Contract Net Protocol(CNP) is too simplex to express the intention of Agent participating in task allocation precisely. Considering the requirements of task preemption mechanism in the target environment,extension to CNP is made,and the distributed multi-Agent coordination system is designed based on the extended CNP. The methods of Agent realization,design of multi-Agent communication mechanism and application of coordination mechanism are given. The system has good extension capability for Agents with different function to be imported dynamically and easily. It provides a foundation platform for the research activities on coordination mechanism.
