Multiagent Task Planning Based on Distributed Resource Scheduling under Command and Control Structure

For task planning of the command and control structure, the existing algorithms exhibit low efficiency and poor replanning quality under abnormal conditions. Given the requirements of the current accusation architecture, a distributed command and control structure model is built in this paper based on multiagents, which exploits the superiority of multiagents in achieving complex tasks. The concept of MultiAgent-HTN is proposed based on the framework. The original hierarchical task network planning algorithm is optimized, the multiagent collaboration framework is redefined, and the coordination mechanism of local conflict is developed. With the classical resource scheduling problem as the experimental background, the proposed algorithm compared with the classical HTN algorithm is drawn. According to the experimental results, the proposed algorithm exhibits higher quality and higher efficiency than the existing algorithm and the space anomaly is significant in the course of processing. The planning is more efficient and the time is more complicated and superior in solving the same problem, and the algorithm exhibits good convergence and adaptability. In the conclusion, it is proved that the distributed command and control structure proposed in this paper exhibits high practicability in relevant fields and can solve the problem of distributed command and control structure in a multiagent scenario.

For the task planning problem of the command and control architecture, the existing algorithms have problems such as low efficiency and poor re-planning quality under abnormal conditions. Based on the requirements of the current accusation architecture, this paper constructs a distributed command and control architecture model based on multi-agents, which makes use of the superiority of multi-agents in dealing with complex tasks. The concept of MultiAgents-HTN is proposed under the framework. The original hierarchical task network planning algorithm is optimized, the multi-agent collaboration framework is redefined, and the coordination mechanism of local conflict is designed. Taking the classical resource scheduling problem as the experimental background, the comparison between the proposed algorithm and the classical HTN algorithm is carried out. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has higher quality and higher efficiency than the existing algorithm, and the space anomaly is heavy during processing. The planning is more efficient, and the time is more complicated and superior in dealing with the same problem, with good convergence and adaptability. The conclusion proves that the distributed command and control architecture proposed in this paper has high practicability in related fields and can solve the problem of distributed command and control architecture in multi-agent environment.

This chapter discusses how, instead of establishing a top-down command and control structure, the Coast Guard — from the top brass down to the on-scene rank and file — allowed for the organic, needs-driven, decentralized response that played an enormous role in the ultimate success of the waterborne evacuation. This approach, in turn, allowed mariners to take direct action, applying their workaday skills to singular circumstances, without being stifled by red tape. No one had foreseen the sudden need for evacuating a huge swath of Manhattan Island. Yet as terrorized people continued to flee to the waterfront, more and more boats turned up to rescue them. As greater numbers of vessels and evacuees amassed along the shoreline, streamlining operations became the biggest challenge. The only solution was to get organized, and that organization was implemented in large part by Lieutenant Michael Day and the pilots operating aboard the New York, which continued its barrier patrol. Their efforts were made easier by the relationships that both the Coast Guard and the Sandy Hook Pilots had with the New York harbor community.
