Abstract :
A distributed MAS (multi agent system) architecture for moveable port resource operation has been presented in the paper, which builds upon elements from decentralized strategies. The system provides a feasible optimization solution to the problem due to its inherent complexity. Under such solution, an intelligent planning algorithm is continuously optimized by the dynamic and co-operative rescheduling of yard resources.
