Project Introduction:
This research focuses on the optimal solution algorithms for the coalition structure formation problem in multi-agent systems. Agents form coalitions to jointly undertake tasks, share objectives, and maximize group benefits. Optimization algorithms can solve coalition formation problems represented by characteristic or allocation functions, with a key distinction being whether externalities are considered—whether the benefits of forming a coalition are influenced by other coalitions in the structure.
Application Fields:
Personnel allocation in human resource management, cooperative alliances in logistics companies, collaborative control in sensor networks.
Technical Advantages:
Scalable solutions for large-scale problems (multi-agent systems with hundreds of agents), high efficiency, and accurate results.
