On games with coordinating and anti-coordinating agents

On coordinating pervasive persuasive agents

There is a growing interest in applying multiagent systems for smart-home environment supporting self-caring elderly. In this paper we investigate situations and conditions for coordination for such kind of system. We specify a high level architecture of it based on the notions of beliefs, desires, and intentions for both individual and group behavior of the agents including the human occupant’...

Coordinating Agents in OO

In this paper we introduce an object-oriented coordination language for multi-agents systems. The beliefs and reasoning capabilities of an agent are specified in terms of a corresponding abstract data type. Agents interact via an extension of the usual object-oriented message passing mechanism. This extension provides the autonomy that is required of agents but which objects in most object-orie...

Coordinating Heterogeneous Autonomous Agents

We address the problem of constructing multiagent systems by coordinating heterogeneous , autonomous agents, whose internal designs may not be fully known. We develop a customizable coordination service that (a) takes declarative speciications of the desired interactions, and (b) automatically enacts them. Our approach is based on temporal logic, and has a rigorous semantics and a naturally dis...

Coordinating Human and Computer Agents

In many application areas individuals are responsible for an agenda of tasks and face choices about the best way to locally handle each task, in what order to do tasks, and when to do them. Such decisions are often hard to make because of coordination problems: individual tasks are related to the tasks of others in complex ways, and there are many sources of uncertainty (no one has a complete v...
