Carpet tiles are moderatly high tech flooring, the install instructions are available from the manufacturer & that will include the allowable & recommended adhesives.
Without any specifics, I can tell you that almost all recommend a "Pressure sensitive" adhesive, rolled on with a paint roller & allowed to dry to the touch before putting the tiles in place.
Look in the yellow pages for "carpet installation supply" store & ask them for a price & spread rate. Expect to pay 30-100 per gallon for this wonder goo. It isn't cheap but it goes on thin.

It is possible to do but not a recommended practice Carpet tiles are designed to be installed over a stable surface. Even if you use one of the solvent based outdoor adhesives there will be some movement of one carpet against the other.
