Abstract

In this paper a dynamic cooperative interaction strategy for the A-Team solving the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) is proposed and experimentally validated. The RCPSP belongs to the class of NP-hard optimization problems. To solve this problem a team of asynchronous agents (A-Team) has been implemented using multiagent environment. An A-Team consist of the set of objects including multiple optimization agents, manager agents and the common memory which through interactions produce solutions of hard optimization problems. In this paper the dynamic cooperative interaction strategy is proposed. The strategy supervises cooperation between agents and the common memory. To validate the proposed approach the preliminary computational experiment has been carried out.
