Reaching Agreement in Multiagent System: Optimization in Allocation ResourcesReaching Agreement • April 10th, 2013
Abstract— One aspect of Multiagent systems (MAS) that has been only partially studied is their role in software engineering and in particular their merit as a software architecture style.We studies a particular multiagent resource allocation problem with indivisible and sharable resources. The utility of an agent for using a bundle of resources is the difference between the valuations of that bundle of resources. The valuation and the delay can be agent-dependent. Currently, the great majority of agent-based systems consist of a single agent. However, as the technology matures and addresses increasingly complex applications, the need for systems that consist of multiple agents that communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion is becoming apparent. Central to the design and effective operation of such multiagent systems (MAS) are a core set of issues and research questions that have been studied over the years by the distributed AI community.
