A Decentralized Cooperation Model for Disaster Simulation

抄録

In Disaster Simulation, multiple heterogeneous agents work together, forming a cooperative team, in a common environment to achieve a common goal. Researches related to agents' action in dynamic environment are still countable. As the expected results using dynamic environment may not be very certain/effective, the current Disaster Simulations are forced to use centralized system in which the central agent is handling the communication, cooperation and coordination activities of all other agents. In centralized system, if the central agent (that is controlling the whole system) fails then the whole system could crash. Also, if we cannot skip the effect of dynamic environmental conditions in centralized system, there could arise a question mark in the performance of the whole system. This paper focuses on such performance bottlenecks caused by centralized model introducing a decentralized model for cooperation. Change in the environment of the whole system is also being one of the main issues in current Disaster Simulation projects. We describe how the decentralized model could be the best solution for robustness of the performance of the Disaster Simulation and we also introduce an algorithm for decentralized cooperation model in dynamic environment.
