Knowledge conflicts resolving in the multi-agent decision support system using multi-stage consensus determining

Summary/Abstract: The present paper describes using a multi-stage consensus algorithm to knowledge conflicts resolving in multi-agent decision support systems. The problem of knowledge conflict between agents, structure of decision, profile and criteria of consensus determining are presented in the first part of the article. Next, a two-stage algorithm of consensus determining is elaborated. This algorithm, among other things, allows shortening the period of time necessary to take a decision and limiting the risk associated with this process as well as it leads to increased effectiveness of decision-making since solutions generated by agents of an inadequate level of knowledge are not taken into account.
