An Auctioning Agent for the Pickup and Delivery Problem(PDP)

Based on Repast(Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit) and logist platform, we designed an agent for solving multi-agent PDP. The agent computes the optimal strategy and estimates the cost in given time and bit according to the marginal cost and the auction history.

    Saxer Lücke

    Hiking with my colleages in Saxer Lücke and a visit to St. Gallen. You can always makes a hiking easier by starting with a cable car. Beyond Rhine River lies Liechtenstein. A gem in the mountains. Conquer the cliff! (with the help from cable cars) This is Saxer Lücke. (But why? This place is not special from my naive view.) Another Lake. We decided to challenge ourself and climbed another mountain.
