TLDR
A price mechanism is proposed that allows project agents to bid for the needed resources and a new contract net protocol (CNP) concept is used for negotiations and coordination among the agents.Abstract:
In this paper, a multi agent based decentralized decision making approach is presented for allocating resources and scheduling of distributed multiple projects. The resource allocation and scheduling is performed cooperatively and collectively by a group of autonomous project agents, resource agents and a mediator agent. We propose a price mechanism that allows project agents to bid for the needed resources. A new contract net protocol (CNP) concept is used for negotiations and coordination among the agents. This approach is successfully applied on an example problem.read more

Semi-active, active and non-delay schedules for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem
TL;DR: In this paper, a formal definition of semi-active, active, and non-delay schedules for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem is presented. But the focus of the paper is not on the scheduling problem itself, but on the formalization of these schedules.

Multi-Agent with Multi Objective-Based Optimized Resource Allocation on Inter-Cloud
J. Arravinth,D. Manjula +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a multi-agent with multi-objective optimized resource allocation on inter-cloud is proposed, which is a combination of adaptive tree seed optimization (ATSO) and multiagent.

Intelligent Agents: Theory and Practice
TL;DR: Agent theory is concerned with the question of what an agent is, and the use of mathematical formalisms for representing and reasoning about the properties of agents as discussed by the authors ; agent architectures can be thought of as software engineering models of agents; and agent languages are software systems for programming and experimenting with agents.

Heuristic algorithms for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem: classification and computational analysis
Rainer Kolisch,Sönke Hartmann +1 more
TL;DR: The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) as discussed by the authors can be seen as a special case of the problem of minimizing the makespan of a single project.

Semi-active, active, and non-delay schedules for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem
TL;DR: After providing a formal definition of semi-active, active, and non-delay schedules for the RCPSP, some of these problems occurring within the disjunctive arc concept are outlined.
