ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ ВЫПОЛНЕНИЯ КОЛЛЕКТИВНОЙ МИССИИ МНОГОАГЕНТНОЙ ГЕТЕРОГЕННОЙ ГРУППОЙ

Abstract

The article deals with study оf the criteria, parameters and performance indicators for the implementationof the collective mission of extended space monitoring by a group that includes controlobjects with different functionality. The most urgent military-technical task of recent times – monitoringof extended spaces- is considered as an example of a mission. A feature of the article is the assumptionabout of hazardous zones in the monitoring area. Any counteraction from potentially criticalobjects may significantly limit the capabilities and even disable the monitoring tools. This provisoaffects for implementation of the mission by the group and leads to a revision of the group collectivestrategies and individual strategies for monitoring tools, their movement routes, and decision-makingalgorithms and etc. Monitoring tools are modeled as intelligent agents trained by the "collectivism"paradigm. It provides a common resource of situational awareness of the group, the organization of negotiations between agents and mutual assistance to each other in the event of problem situations.A general approach has been developed to evaluate the effectiveness of solving collective problemsby a heterogeneous group of agents, taking into account the objective function, resource intensity ofthe entire mission and organizing active interaction between agents. It is proposed that the missionefficiency characteristic expressed as a weighted sum of the normalized indicators of the parametersof the agents' functions with the weights "significance of the function for the mission" and "value ofthe object". It is shown that the loss of efficiency in the performance of a collective mission in theevent of problematic situations with an agent (active enemy action, breakdown, lack of the necessaryfunctionality, resources, etc.) can be compensated by the required functionality of other agents of thegroup with the appropriate reconfiguration of tasks.
