Abstract
A conflict resolution architecture for multi-agent hybrid systems
with emphasis on air traffic management systems (ATMS) is presented. In
such systems, conflicts arise in the form of potential collisions which
are resolved locally by inter-agent coordination. This results in a
decentralized architecture in which safety issues are resolved locally
and central agencies, such as air traffic controllers, focus on global
issues such as efficiency and optimal throughput. In order to allow
optimization of agents' objectives, inter-agent coordination is
minimized by noncooperative conflict resolution methods based on game
theory. If noncooperative methods are unsuccessful, then cooperative
methods in the form of coordinated maneuvers are used to resolve
conflicts. The merging of inter-agent coordination, which is modeled by
discrete event systems, and agent dynamics, which are modeled by
differential equations, results in hybrid systems
