I-Globe: Distributed Planning and Coordination of Team-oriented Activities

We present an approach to distributed planning and coordination architecture for dynamic non-deterministic multi-actor mixed-initiative environment. The system provides exible planning, replanning, and task allocation. The key idea of the presented approach is in integration of (i) I-X hierarchical planner with (ii) agent-based architecture and (iii) commitment-based plan representation. The imple-mentation of the system was veried and evaluated on simulated environment. The experimental validation conrms the performance, stability, and robustness of the system in complex scenarios

Commercial Applications of Agents: Lessons, Experiences and Challenges

As has been argued very eloquently and effectively, there is a chasm that needs to be crossed in the adoption of any new technology [8], and the marketing of such technologies must somehow try to bridge the gap that arises. Many currentl
