Dear All,
I am looking to find the optimal size of the multi-agent based coalition. The goal of the coalition is to share the renewable power among the members of the coalition. Does any one know about the generic method or technique for finding the optimal size of the coalition?
Dear Muhammad,
How are you going to simulate it? What is your software?
Regards,

I am using multi-agent based moedling for simulation and the name of software is Netlogo.
Not sure the state of the art, but this is in line with my knowledge of the problem. Here is a short excerpt:
"A number of coalition formation algorithms have been developed to determine which of the potential coalitions should actually be formed. To do so, they typically calculate a value for each coalition, known as the coalition value, which provides an indication of the expected outcome that could be derived if that coalition was formed. Then, having computed all the coalitional values, the decision about the optimal coalition(s) to form can be taken."
The paper goes on to describe coalition value calculation and sites relevant sources.
Best of luck!
