Resource allocation based on MAS coordination

Resource allocation is a crucial type of decision making activities. Resource coordination is the process of intelligently allocating resources among different agents or goals. In this paper, a new MAS approach was proposed to study resource coordination, which breakthrough the restriction of traditional optimization approach under dynamic context. Starting from BDI coordination reasoning, and utility to represent individual interesting of the resources' usage, utility based BDI resource coordination reasoning model was presented. Process of the utility calculation, reasoning and multi-agent interaction was described, and an evaluation and its result was given. These works may have great importance on management and DSS.
