Resource allocation with cooperative agents

We study the problem of cooperative resource allocation in multi-agent systems, focusing on scenarios such as hospital networks. In our model, agents (e.g., hospitals) redistribute limited resources, such as medical personnel, in a way that satisfies both local constraints and global equity objectives. We devise ad-hoc optimization strategies for a static scenario, where resource needs are fixed over time. We empirically evaluate the proposed approaches through a set of experiments. Our results demonstrate that our approaches are highly effective.
