MACIV PROJECT
MACIV - Multi Agent Systems for Resources Management in Civil Construction
MACIV is a Project funded by PRAXIS XXI
MACIV OBJECTIVES
The aim of the MACIV project is the design and implementation of a computer
system, mainly based on Distributed Artificial Intelligence techniques,
enabling decentralised management of different resources in Civil Construction
Companies. This problem was inspired by a real large dimension company
whose experts have been involved with us on the problem definition and
system design. We are developing new extended protocols to support complex
negotiation between agents, either isolated or grouped together in approprate
coalitions, in order to reach the best proposals (prices) for executing
announced tasks. More about
the objectives
