Application of an Encoding Revision Algorithm in Overlapping Coalition Formation

2. Related Work

Overlapping coalition means that each agent joins in the executions of many tasks at the same time. A group of agents join in a series of tasks with the limited time or resources, and one agent for many tasks will cause resource conflicts because each agent’s resources are limited. As mentioned before, most of the current studies are about non-overlapping coalition, while the overlapping coalition tends to be neglected. It has not been studied for a long time, and still in the process of exploration and research, leaving many problems unsolved.
