Abstract
We discuss an extension of a scheme recently proposed for multi-agent control
of large-scale networks, like power networks, road traffic networks, water
networks, etc. The original scheme uses serial sequences of agent interactions
that under some assumptions make agents locally choose actions that are
globally optimal. However, some weaknesses of the approach appear when applied
to large-scale networks. We identify these weaknesses and propose, for problems
with a tree-structured problem topology, an improvement based on
parallelization of the serial scheme. With an example we illustrate and compare
the schemes.
