Research on the multi-platform cooperative guidance tasks allocation based on contract net protocol

Abstract

This paper explores the allocation of the cooperative control-and-guide tasks among distributed cooperative guidance platforms, which is time critical and dynamic task allocation in complex distributed system. The structure of Cooperative Guidance Agent is presented and the Contract Net Protocol is employed to the allocation of the cooperative control-and-guide tasks, which meets the time critical and dynamic requirements. This paper provides basis of developing a prototype of the multi-platform cooperative guidance task allocation. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
