Title
Fusion of dependence networks in multi-agent systems: application to support net-enabled littoral surveillance
Abstract
In a multi-agent system, agents need to identify their relationships in order to coordinate their actions. Actually, coordination is the most challenging issue in multi-agent design. Very often, the definition of agents' relationships depends on the properties of the tasks they are able to perform. Knowing its task, an agent is able to build a dependence network that helps identify other agents with whom to interact and cooperate. An agent can also fuse branches in its dependence network in order to derive dependence relations between other agents. The fusion of dependence relations is a powerful tool that could be used by agents to coordinate their tasks and enhance the whole system performance.
