11th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA'00) Economic Coordination Mechanisms for Holonic Multi-Agent Systems Greenwich, London, U.K. September 06-September 08 ISBN: 0-7695-0680-1
This paper discusses the importance of coordination mechanisms for holonic multi agent systems. Specifically the design of mechanisms for worth-oriented domains with transferable utility is discussed. The specific focus is on how to allocate a set of resources to a set of agents. Agents may express preferences for the complementary use of resources. Agents are assumed to be self-interested. An example demonstrates relevant concepts, such as economic efficiency, equilibrium, and surplus distribution. The importance of a rigid quality assessment is emphasized.
