MULTI-AGENT COALITION FORMATION BASED ON CLONAL SELECTION

Martina Husáková

2011

Abstract

Coalition formation is by one of cooperative mechanisms used in multi-agent systems. Various approaches of multi-agent coalition formation ensure the coalition stability, optimal allocation of sources and payoff distribution for efficient achievement of individual or collective goals. The paper investigates mechanisms of human immune system from the coordination and cooperation point of view. It specifies requirements for effective multi-agent coalition formation on the basis of these mechanisms. The clonal selection-based algorithm is used to discover the optimal coalition structure. Finally, further directions in the research of exploitation artificial immune-based algorithms for multi-agent coalition formation are mentioned.
