Abstract
Day after day the distributed systems become more interested science and more
researchers direct their attention to it. Multi-Agent System (MAS) is considered as a
branch of distributed systems which has many applications such as E-commerce,
transportation system, web application, air traffic control, and work flow
management. Packet World Problem is MAS application used in this research to
study the cooperation interaction between agents; specifically this research used to
prove that using cooperative MAS algorithm will solve packet world problem in
minimum number of steps, less time, and decrease network consumption. Decreasing
the consumption of these factors will minimize processor and memory utilization.
Packet World Problem is a case study used in literature to study MAS interactions
and characteristics, it is an environment consists of multiple agents and packets; the
main goal is cleaning the environment from packets. The proposed work includes
Cooperative MAS model which consists of two levels, each level has a specific subgoal
to achieve; agents at both levels cooperate to achieve the global goal. Also the
proposed work includes Cooperative MAS algorithm which solve Packet World
Problem efficiently, it was designed depending on the proposed model. Different
scenarios were tested and the proposed algorithm gave results as enhancement of
84% less in number of steps, 40% less in consumed time and 72% less in network
consumption.
