Integrated Multi-Agent Systems for Coordinating Mobile Activities

In the mobile environment, mobile users are likely to adjust their schedules of activities once their perceived contextual information varies. However, conflicts between users’ activities are inevitable in the mobile environment since the resources are usually limited and thus cannot satisfy all users’ demands. We formulate the conflict problem as a Multi-objective Context-dependent Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (MCDCOP). To tackle the problem, we propose an integrated multi-agent system SPA and a problem-solving approach 2S-DORA.
