DSAFO (Dynamic Scheduling Agents with Federation Organization) is a novel multi-agent constraint satisfaction algorithm for AGSS problem (a NP-hard scheduling problem). This paper improves on DSAFO by employing a resource requisition strategy, and models this parallel multi-agent algorithm in polyadic π-calculus. The time complexity of the improved DSAFO is O(n3)+O(n2)×ttrans. Experiments show improved DSAFO performs well in AGSS consumptions optimization of resources and man-days. Though it is unstable, improved DSAFO makes good probability to find better solutions than classical heuristics and its distributed and parallel agents viewpoint is potential to deal with distributed dynamic troubles in real applications.
