Abstract:
A problem of agents group formation in multi-agent systems is discussed in this paper. SPADE multi-agent system is chosen after evaluation of its performance and scalability for several hundreds of agents. Several approaches to agents group formation problem are discussed. A greedy algorithm for agents group formation is implemented using SPADE multi-agent system and its properties are studied. It is established that SPADE multi-agent system characteristics are sufficient for implementation of more complex algorithms for agents group formation. Ways to incorporate cognitive agents with sign world model in developed system are proposed.
Keywords:agents and multi-agent systems, SPADE multi-agent system, agent group formation.
