Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of coordination mechanisms for holonic multi agent systems. Specifically the design of mechanisms for worth-oriented domains with transferable utility is discussed. The specific focus is on how to allocate a set of resources to a set of agents. Agents may express preferences for the complementary use of resources. Agents are assumed to be self-interested. An example demonstrates relevant concepts, such as economic efficiency, equilibrium, and surplus distribution. The importance of a rigid quality assessment is emphasized.
