Validating a Novel Conflict Resolution Strategy Selection Method (Confrssm) Via Multi-Agent Simulation

Selecting a suitable conflict resolution strategy when conflicts appear in multi-agent environments is a hard problem. There is a need to develop a method that can select a suitable strategy which guaranties low cost in terms of the number of messages and time ticks. This paper focuses on conflicts over agents’ individual opinion and decision making by taking into account an agent’s features su...

A Conflict Resolution Strategy Selection Method (ConfRSSM) in Multi-Agent Systems

Selecting a suitable conflict resolution strategy when conflicts appear in multi-agent environments is a hard problem. There is a need to formulate a model for strategic decision making in selecting a strategy to resolve conflicts. In this paper, we formalise a model for selecting a conflict resolution strategy in multi-agent systems. The model is expected to select a suitable strategy which gu...

A Testing Method for Multi-UAV Conflict Resolution Using Agent-Based Simulation and Multi-Objective Search

We present a new approach to testing multi-UAV conflict resolution algorithms. We have formulated the problem as a multi-objective search problem, with two objectives: finding air traffic encounters that (1) are able to reveal faults in conflict resolution algorithms, and (2) are likely to happen in the real world. Our method uses agent-based simulation and multiobjective search to automaticall...

Conflict Resolution for Multi- Agent Hybrid Systems

A conflict resolution architecture for multi-agent hybrid systems with emphasis on Air Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) is presented. In such systems, conflicts arise in the form of potential collisions which are resolved locally by inter-agent coordination. This results in a decentralized architecture in which safety issues are resolved locally and central agencies, such as Air Traffic Contro...
