The work makes an examination of clustering methods in a multi-agent system which is fully decentralized. This has the goal of grouping agents that have similar data or objectives as in the case of traditional clustering. But, this adds to some more additional constraints wherein the agent will have to be in the same place as opposed to being collected within a centralized database. For doing this, it will connect to agents within a random network and will search for them in a peer-to-peer based fashion for the other agents that are similar. The primary aim here was to tackle the basic problem in clustering on the Internet scale thus creating methods where the agents may be grouped thus forming coalitions. For the purpose of investigating the decentralized approaches and their feasibility, the work presents the K-means clustering, the multi-agent Firefly Algorithm, (FA) and the Differential Evolution (DE). This is done for a reasonable number to times and will be surprisingly good. The results of the experiment prove that the multi-agent firefly clustering has better performance compared to that of a multi-agent K-Means clustering or a multi-agent DE clustering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
