Abstract :
This work presents a new spring net approach for distributed problem solving in MAS, which is entirely different from the EN for TSP and can describe a variety of complicated social interactive behavior and autonomy of agents. The simulations of task allocation and resource assignment have shown the advantages of the proposed spring net approach for distributed problem solving in MAS.
