Abstract :
One of the main aspects of multi agent systems is task distribution and allocation. In this research, we propose a novel fuzzy hybrid allocation of tasks to the fire fighters and the way of their cooperation in Rescue simulation environment. The proposed hyhrid task allocation mechanism aims to take advantage of the best features of reactive, distributed and centralized task allocation methods, while avoiding their disadvantages. Simulation analysis demonstrates o dynamic and rapid reaction to the environmental changes and the way of allocation tasks and cooperation between agents.
