Abstract :
To present, all previous studies about agent focus on describing multi-agent model, its communication mechanism, negotiation and cooperation process. There are also researches on multi-agent cooperation structure, dynamic group forming within multi-agent cooperation and task assignment for multi-agent respectively. But little is known about the application of multi-agent cooperation model, the formation of dynamic groups in multi-area synchronous dynamic cooperation work (MASDCW) environments and the task assignment algorithm for dynamic groups. The paper begins with an introduction of the status of current research on multi-agent cooperation, then presents a MASDCW model with multi-agent cooperation. Whereas, the main point is the algorithm of task agent selection, as well as the algorithm of task assignment based on a dynamic group.
