In order to unify the two kinds of interaction while designing multi-agent systems, this paper introduces Q language-a scenario description language for designing interaction among agents and humans. Based on Q, we propose an integrating interaction framework system for multi-agent coordination, in which Q scenarios are used to uniformly describe both kinds of interactions. Being in accordance to the characteristics of Q language, the Q-based framework makes the interaction process open and easily understood by the users. Additionally, it makes specific applications of multi-agent systems easy to be established by application designers. By applying agent negotiation in agent-mediated e-commerce and agent cooperation in interoperable information query on the Semantic Web, we illustrate how the presented framework for multi-agent coordination is implemented in concrete applications. At the same time, these two different applications also demonstrate usability of the presented framework and verify validity of Q language.展开更多

In accordance with the game theory, the concept of loyalty is introduced to analyze the relationship between agents' individual income and global benefits and build the logical architecture of the multi-agent system. Besides, to verify the feasibility of the method, the cyclic neural network is optimized, the bi-directional coordination network is built as the training network for deep learning, and specific training scenes are simulated as the training background. After a certain number of training iterations, the model can learn simple strategies autonomously. Also,as the training time increases, the complexity of learning strategies rises gradually. Strategies such as obstacle avoidance, firepower distribution and collaborative cover are adopted to demonstrate the achievability of the model. The model is verified to be realizable by the examples of obstacle avoidance, fire distribution and cooperative cover. Under the same resource background, the model exhibits better convergence than other deep learning training networks, and it is not easy to fall into the local endless loop.Furthermore, the ability of the learning strategy is stronger than that of the training model based on rules, which is of great practical values.展开更多

Bidirectional information exchange between neighboring agents is considered and both the discrete-time and continuous-time consensus protocols are studied. It is shown that the consensus is reached if there exists an unbounded time sequence such that two agents who own the maximum and minimum states at each time instant in the sequence will be jointly connected at some future time. Further, this result is applied to the original nonlinear Vicsek model, and a sufficient condition for the heading consensus of the group with restricted initial conditions is obtained.展开更多

文摘This paper is concerned with the coordinative control problem of networked nonlinear multi-agents(NNM)with communication delays.A high-order fully actuated(HOFA)model is introduced to describe the nonlinear multi-agents.Based on this model,a HOFA predictive coordination method is proposed to compensate for the communication delays actively and achieve simultaneous stability and consensus.This method largely simplifies the design of networked nonlinear multi-agents and makes the control performance be same for networked nonlinear multi-agents with and without communication delays.The analysis on the closed-loop systems derives the simultaneous stability and consensus criteria of networked nonlinear multiagents using the HOFA predictive coordination method.With the presented way of designing HOFA predictive coordination controllers,a simulated example demonstrates the advantages of the proposed method.
文摘Telecommunication business management is an extremely complex task. The research of the Multi-agentsystem in the Distributed Artificial Intelligence provides a new implementation method for telecommunicationbusiness management.Telecommunication Business Management System (TBMS) is an applied system, which isbased on multi-agents. In this paper, the architecture of TBMS based on multi-agent is presented, and someemployed techniques are explained. To achieve the overall managemenl task agents are specified into severalcategories to accomplish subtasks. This Paper also shows the slructure and organization of the TBMS.
文摘A protection system using a multi-agent concept for power distribution networks is proposed.Every digital over current relay(OCR)is developed as an agent by adding its own intelligence,self-tuning and communication ability.The main advantage of the multi-agent concept is that a group of agents work together to achieve a global goal which is beyond the ability of each individual agent.In order to cope with frequent changes in the network operation condition and faults,an OCR agent,proposed in this paper,is able to detect a fault or a change in the network and find its optimal parameters for protection in an autonomous manner considering information of the whole network obtained by communication between other agents.Through this kind of coordination and information exchanges,not only a local but also a global protective scheme is completed.Simulations in a simple distribution network show the effectiveness of the proposed protection system.

文摘A new kind of group coordination control problemgroup hybrid coordination control is investigated in this paper.The group hybrid coordination control means that in a whole multi-agent system(MAS)that consists of two subgroups with communications between them,agents in the two subgroups achieve consensus and containment,respectively.For MASs with both time-delays and additive noises,two group control protocols are proposed to solve this problem for the containment-oriented case and consensus-oriented case,respectively.By developing a new analysis idea,some sufficient conditions and necessary conditions related to the communication intensity betw een the two subgroups are obtained for the following two types of group hybrid coordination behavior:1)Agents in one subgroup and in another subgroup achieve weak consensus and containment,respectively;2)Agents in one subgroup and in another subgroup achieve strong consensus and containment,respectively.It is revealed that the decay of the communication impact betw een the two subgroups is necessary for the consensus-oriented case.Finally,the validity of the group control results is verified by several simulation examples.

文摘Successful coordination in multi-agent systems requires agents to achieve consensus.Previous works propose methods through information sharing,such as explicit information sharing via communication protocols or exchanging information implicitly via behavior prediction.However,these methods may fail in the absence of communication channels or due to biased modeling.In this work,we propose to develop dual-channel consensus(DuCC)via contrastive representation learning for fully cooperative multi-agent systems,which does not need explicit communication and avoids biased modeling.DuCC comprises two types of consensus:temporally extended consensus within each agent(inner-agent consensus)and mutual consensus across agents(inter-agent consensus).To achieve DuCC,we design two objectives to learn representations of slow environmental features for inner-agent consensus and to realize cognitive consistency as inter-agent consensus.Our DuCC is highly general and can be flexibly combined with various MARL algorithms.The extensive experiments on StarCraft multi-agent challenge and Google research football demonstrate that our method efficiently reaches consensus and performs superiorly to state-of-the-art MARL algorithms.

文摘This paper proposes relaxed sufficient conditions for the consensus of multi-agent systems by the averaging protocols with time-varying system topology. Bidirectional information exchange between neighboring agents is considered and both the discrete-time and continuous-time consensus protocols are studied. It is shown that the consensus is reached if there exists an unbounded time sequence such that two agents who own the maximum and minimum states at each time instant in the sequence will be jointly connected at some future time. Further, this result is applied to the original nonlinear Vicsek model, and a sufficient condition for the heading consensus of the group with restricted initial conditions is obtained.
