Abstract

Multi-agent systems (MAS) have been advocated as the natural solution to real-world problems that necessitate some form of decentralised control within dynamic and uncertain environments. Given this, a number of multi-agent coordination algorithms have been designed, ranging from auctions to coalition formation algorithms. These algorithms allow a number of agents to reconcile their constraints and preferences in order to maximise some global objective. An important domain where such algorithms can be applied is that of emergency response or disaster management.
