Task assignment based on improved dynamic contract net and ant colony search strategy
Ying Yang, Xinxue Liu · 2013
Due to the real-time and dynamics characteristic of battlefield environment, the waste of combat time and battlefield resources was inevitable in the process of actual operational. The traditional contract net protocol was unable to meet the dynamic uncertainty needs of task assignment. we presented an improved dynamic contract net protocol (abbreviated as IDCNP)here, and introducted the concept of task priority. Not only saving resources, but also improving the real-time characteristic of task assignment process through the screening for bidders and real-time updates for tenders and bidders. We studied the specific task allocation method in two cases, then presented task entity allocation method in complex case based on ant colony search strategy (abbreviated as ACS). According to experiment, this method can effectively improve the efficiency of task completion, and can provide certain technical support for battle planning.
