Knowledge-Based Approach to Coalition Formation

Establishing coalitions among humanitarian aid organizations is a challenge. The CPlanT (Coalition Planning Tool) system uses a multi-agent knowledge-based approach to reduce complexity and communication traffic, while also protecting stakeholder privacy.
