Paper Abstract:
|
No matter how perfect a coalition is from the aspects of mutual benefits, individual payoffs and knowledge of members, it will still fail to meet expectations if internal conflicts arise. Realizing the importance of a harmonious and cohesive atmosphere in promoting seamless cooperation between coalition members, we propose an agent-based coalition formation approach that leverages on virtual social network and Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) from artificial neural networks (ANN) to form cohesive coalitions. In virtual social network, relationship values of the agents are obtained. The relationship values are then passed on to the ART-ANN to determine cohesive coalitions. |
