A Short Introduction to PreferencesAggregating Preferences

A Short Introduction to Preferences: Aggregating Preferences [An important aspect of reasoning about preferences is preference aggregation. In multiagent systems, we often need to combine the preferences of several agents. For instance, SCATS (the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System) is a complex distributed multiagent system used to control the traffic lights in Sydney and 140 other cities around the world [128]. The system is distributed as each intersection is controlled by a separate kerbside computer. Based on the current traffic demands, each kerbside computer in a SCATS system has a preferred plan for the cycle time for the traffic lights at its intersection, as well as the ratio of this time given to the different approaches. To ensure traffic flows smoothly, a coordination mechanism is needed to choose between these different preferred plans.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[An important aspect of reasoning about preferences is preference aggregation. In multiagent systems, we often need to combine the preferences of several agents. For instance, SCATS (the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System) is a complex distributed multiagent system used to control the traffic lights in Sydney and 140 other cities around the world [128]. The system is distributed as each intersection is controlled by a separate kerbside computer. Based on the current traffic demands, each kerbside computer in a SCATS system has a preferred plan for the cycle time for the traffic lights at its intersection, as well as the ratio of this time given to the different approaches. To ensure traffic flows smoothly, a coordination mechanism is needed to choose between these different preferred plans.]
