In this paper, we define the online localized resource allocation problem, especially relevant for modeling transportation applications. The problem modeling takes into account simultaneously the geographical location of consumers and resources together with their online nondeterministic appearance. We use urban parking management as an illustration of this problem. In fact, urban parking manag...

For many DAI researchers, autonomy is a vital definitional prerequisite for an agent. We argue that a strict commitment o this view is too rigorous and insufficient in complex and large-scale systems and propose the holonic agent paradigm, where the degree of autonomy in an agent society is dynamically adjusted to the problem at hand. A holonic agent is an agent which is composed of subagents, ...

Currently, in Iran's banking system, non-repayment of facilities has become one of the biggest issues, and due to the lack of a proper system for proper allocation of facilities, they face a number of problems, including the problem of allocation of loans, the problem of failure to repay loans Of the central bank, or the amount of facilities increased from the amount of reimbursement. The solut...

This study presents a capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with stochastic demands based on a well-known distribution function. In this discrete environment, besides the capacitated facilities, we can employee the capacitated sub-source of each facility for satisfying demands of customers. The objective function is to find the optimal locations of facilities among a finite num...

Allocation problems are one of main problem targets to apply today s agent based com puting They can be found in a large specter do mains ranging from production task scheduling to resource allocation or distribution problems How ever there are cases where agents even being au tonomous do not decide what to do without hu man intervention and decision Most of these cases are concerning with econ...

Emerging sensor networks (ESNs) are an inevitable trend with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), and intend to connect almost every intelligent device. Therefore, it is critical to study resource allocation in such an environment, due to the concern of efficiency, especially when resources are limited. By viewing ESNs as multi-agent environments, we model them with an agent-based m...

This paper describes the theoretic issues and the design of an implemented Multiagent System developed by DISI, the Computer Science Department of the University of Genova, and Ansaldo-STS, the Italian leader in design and construction of signalling and automation systems for conventional and high speed railway lines. The problem discussed in this paper is a multiagent resource allocation probl...
