Abstract

The following analytical approaches: queuing network models, stochastic timed Petri nets, stochastic process algebra, Markov chains are used in performance eevaluation of multi–agent systems. In this paper, new approach which is based on PERT networks is proposed. This approach is applied in performance evaluation of layered multi–agent system. These layers are associated with the following types of agents: manager, bidder, and searcher ones. Our method is based on approximation using Erlang distribution. Accuracy of our approximation method is verified using simulation experiments.
