This paper examines the urban growth coalition and anti-coalition from the theoretical per- spective of growth coalition in the context of China’s urbanization by tracing the formation of coalition and the interaction among participants with Jiangyin Eco- nomic Development Zone in Jinjiang as a case which enriches the studies of urban growth coalition be- tween local government and enterprises.

A fuzzy relation of long-term coalition is proposed which can compute the relation value of members easily and effectively.

Multi-stage negotiation based coalition formation of virtual enterprise;

Study on The Multi-agent Coalition Formation Algorithm;

Heterogeneous multi-robot coalition formation based on artificial immune system

A multi-colony ant colony optimization(MCACO) is proposed for the coalition generation problem in the parallel multi-task environment.

Using intelligent optimization algorithms to solve the agent coalition generation is an important research direction.

Networked manufacturing alliance member selection is a multi-objective decision problem.

In order to solve the alliance membership selection problem in networked manufacturing,an improved Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS) mixed multi-dimensional decision was presented.
