摘　　要：To improve the energy efficiency and load-balance in large-scale multi-agent systems, a large-scale distributed cluster algorithm is proposed. At first, a parameter describing the spatial distribution of agents is designed to assess the information spreading capability of an agent. Besides, a competition resolution mechanism is proposed to tackle the competition problem in large-scale multiagent systems. Thus, the proposed algorithm can balance the load, adjust the system network locally and dynamically, reduce system energy consumption. Finally, simulations are presented to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
