Coalition model of multi-agent resource conversion process
Abstract
Coalition model of multi-agent resource conversion process
The paper focuses on one of possible approaches to decision support problem, which is based on multi-agent simulation modelling. Most decision support cases generally consist of a set of available alternatives definition, estimation and selection of the best one. When choosing a solution one needs to consider a large number of conflicting objectives and, thus, to estimate possible solutions on multiple criteria. Multi-agent resource conversion process model was developed on the basis of several approaches integration: simulation and situational modeling, expert and multi-agent systems, object-oriented approach. The multi-agent resource conversion process model was extended elements coalition. Apparatus of conflict modeling was extended communications. Creation and disintegration processes of coalition are starting structural and parametric changes in multi-agent resource conversion process model. Coalition multi agent model of resources conversion process was implemented in decision support system BPsim.
