Conflict resolution in multi-agent systems

Comparison of mathematical techniques to conflict agents

“…It has very significant common characteristics and dynamics, and, therefore, it makes sense to examine them together and comparatively. People get involved in conflicts because their interests or their values are challenged or because their needs are not met [1].Different kinds or classes of conflict require different conflict resolution strategies. According to their different natures people need different strategies to resolve different sorts of conflicts.…”

A Modeling Methodology for Conflict Control in Multi-Agent Systems

“…Through analyzing local plans, the integration algorithm may request some local plans be updated in order to generate conflict-free global plans -a global plan being conflict-free means that no run-time conflict is possible to occur in the MAS described and developed based on this global plan. A number of publication results describe research works using this approach [BL99,BL01,MT96,RH03,RHM03]. For example, [RH03,RHM03] followed this approach to design a conflict resolution algorithm for air traffic management.…”

“…For example, [RH03,RHM03] followed this approach to design a conflict resolution algorithm for air traffic management. In [RH03,RHM03], an aircraft is modeled as an agent, and the airspace is partitioned into cells and each cell is modeled as a resource unit. It is required that each cell can only be occupied by at most one aircraft at any moment.…”

“…Following its local plan, an aircraft is scheduled to travel from the initial cell to the destination cell. The global plan in [RH03,RHM03] is simply a union of local plans. For example, Fig.…”
