Agent-based global transportation scheduling in military logistics

Provisional Agreement Protocol (PAP) facilitates decentralised agent planning in open and dynamic domains. PAP is implemented for our global transportation scheduling problem, allowing partial quantity and route bids, and backtracking if an infeasible solution is encountered. Current experimental results are presented, which show that our agent-based transportation scheduling implementation performs well compared with finding transportation schedules manually, which is how military logistics planners form schedules in training.
