Multi Agent Systems and an Application for the Cargo Transportation Problem

Multi‐Agent Systems (MAS) is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence which is designed by communicating two or more agent in an environment. In this paper, MAS which have been applied for industrial problems for ten years successfully, its sub fields and search algorithms are introduced. Literature review about application of MAS is explained. A model for solving cargo transportation problem with MAS is developed. For this purpose, randomly forming cargo transportation problems have been modeled with MAS. Finally, it is seen that MAS gives an optimum solutions in a short computation times.
