Various approaches to organizing interaction and coordination in distributed systems are considered. The centralized approach has a big disadvantage due to scalability limits and single points of failure. The classic decentralized approach cannot be used in some cases due to the high communication overhead and latency. One of such cases is the conflict resolution in multi-agent digital twins, where the Resonance Request Method can be really useful.
The purpose of the research is to develop a method of creating a communication and conflict resolution mechanism, which will provide the possibility of determining the optimal task allocation based on state similarity.
The paper examines the interaction dynamics of the system "initiator - executor". Under the condition of dynamic environments, the mathematical model of the resonance function and selective query filtering was obtained. In view of the use in cyber-physical systems, the input and output parameters of the method were described and analyzed, as well as the meth-ods of obtaining them.
As a result of the evaluation of the speed of the method using Python simulation, a mod-ification of the search way for the optimal sensitivity threshold was proposed.
The comparative analysis showed the high efficiency of the proposed coordination sys-tem with optimally adjusted resonance parameters. The proposed method allows to reduce the communication traffic by approximately 90% compared to standard protocols. Also, the method made it possible to speed up the requests processing by an average of 3-10 times, re-duce the load on the network and handle cases when real-time coordination is a rather diffi-cult problem.
The input and output parameters of the method and ways of obtaining them were de-scribed and analyzed. A comparative numerical analysis showed the high efficiency of the functioning of such a conflict resolution system with optimally adjusted parameters of the resonance requests.
