Abstract

Overlapping coalition formation is a very active research field in multi-agent systems (MAS). In overlapping coalition, each agent can participate in different coalitions corresponding to multiple tasks at the same time. As each agent has limited resources, resource conflicts will occur. In order to resolve resource conflicts, we develop an improved encoding revision algorithm in this paper which can revise an invalid two-dimensional binary encoding into a valid one by checking the encoding for each row. To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, differential evolution was used as the experimental platform and compared with Zhang et al. The experimental results show that the algorithm in this paper is superior to Zhang et al. in both solution quality and encoding revision time.
