Abstract

The paper proposes a clustering based Generic Interaction Protocol for Multiagent Systems (GIPMAS) that exploits clustering methodology for establishing interaction among agents operating in a network of multiagent systems. GIPMAS is a hierarchical protocol that supports intelligent formation of clusters and dynamic election of cluster head and executive cluster head as well. It also describes a recovery mechanism in case cluster head relocates from its respective cluster.
