摘要: Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) suffer from low immunity against burst of arrival requests which can result in a permanent outage such systems. This factor limits the suitability MASs for control real-world manufacturing systems with strict requirements on performance and reliability. manuscript explains origins degradation based Contract-Net Protocol proposes method that protects destructive effect temporal overloads. The proposed continuously observes communication among agents analyzes it order to identify possible saturation system resource. If triggering new action saturates resource, carrying out will be postponed. impacts are demonstrated test-bed consisted six mini-computers Raspberry Pi. It shows avoids overloading thus guarantees specific throughput effectively efficiently.
