Title
Agent coordination for bus fleet management
Abstract
This paper presents an abstract multiagent architecture useful for Decision Support Systems (DSS), and shows how this architecture can be instantiated to a particular real-world domain, Bus Fleet Management (BFM). After discussing the benefits of adopting a multiagent approach for DSS, the paper introduces the real world case study and analyzes it. Next, an abstract MAS architecture for DSS in general, and specialized then for BFM case study is presented. The architecture includes a set of different agents which are in charge of different social roles, and what is needed for their coordination, the Coordination Facilitator and the coordination protocols. The paper is concentrated in this point showing a concrete example in the BFM domain.
