Abstract: Multiagent Resource Allocation (MARA) is a field to find out solutions that distribute a set of resources among agents. Heretofore, lots of utility- and reputation-based approaches have been proposed. In this paper, we develop a preference-based resource reservation approach for resource allocation in a system that consists of entirely selfless agents. Preference, defined as the satisfaction of required resources, has a crucial impact on resource allocation. The importance degree is also adopted to represent the extent to which a particular attribute is needed. In the system, agents communicate with semi-local friends to exchange information as well as reserving resources. Finally, …a confirmation or cancelation message is sent to obtain or release the reserved resources. Numerical examples are given to show the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed method.
