A Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning System for Governmental Interoperability
Source abstract
Abstract
This study explores the integration of the JADE (Java Agent Development Framework) platform with deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to enhance governmental interoperability and optimize administrative workflows in municipal settings. The proposed approach combines the JADE’s robust multi-agent system (MAS) capabilities with the adaptive decision-making power of DRL to address prevalent challenges faced by government agencies, such as fragmented operations, incompatible data formats, and rigid communication protocols. By enabling seamless communication between agents across departments such as the Treasury, the Event Management department, and the Public Safety department, the hybrid system fosters real-time collaboration and supports efficient, data-driven decision making. Agents leverage historical and real-time data to adapt to environmental changes and make optimized decisions that align with overarching governmental objectives, such as resource allocation and emergency response. The result is a system capable of managing intricate administrative duties using structured agent communication and the integration of DRL-driven learning models, improving governmental interoperability. Key performance indicators highlight the system’s effectiveness, achieving a task completion rate of 95%, decision accuracy of 96%, and a communication latency of just 120 ms. Additionally, the framework’s flexibility ensures seamless scalability, accommodating complex and large-scale tasks across multiple governmental units. This research presents a scalable, automated, and resilient framework for optimizing governmental processes, offering a pathway to more efficient, transparent, and adaptive public sector operations.
