Study on Cooperation Mechanism in Agent Organization

Organization is an effective solution mode in multi-agent system. Cooperation in an agent organization is defined. Based on simple definitions, mathematical formulation of agent organizational cooperation network is constructed. Hierarchical clustering algorithm is applied to design optimal cooperation network. The process of designing cooperation network among agents is analyzed and compared with a case in different conditions
