Coalition formation is an important manner of communication among agents in MAS. Some previous works only pay attention to forming a coalition for each task respectively, and the gross income of MAS may be not maximal. Thus, combination task called task-group is originally taken into account. In this way, the main problem lies that to search a partition of the given set of tasks called task-group structure to maximize the gross income. However, considering all of those possible task-group structures is impossible with the increasing number of tasks. Thus, an algorithm is developed to predigest the graph of taskgroup structures, and a multi-task coalition formation algorithm is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
