Component Based Task Models for Agent Coordination
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the initial development of an intelligent tasking model which has been designed to enable complex systems, human agents and software agents, to be tasked and controlled within a reactive workflow management paradigm. The task models exploits recent advances within the AI community in reactive control, scheduling and continuous execution. The Dynamic Execution Order Scheduler (DEOS extends the current workflow paradigm to allow tasking in dynamic and uncertain environments by viewing the planning and scheduling tasks as being integrated and evolving entities. DEOS is being applied to the domains of Air Campaign Planning (ACP) and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) management. These are highly reactive domains in which new tasks and priorities are identified continuously and plans and schedules are generated and updated within a temporal and resource constrained setting.

Evolutionary of Communication Rules for Coordination among Mobile Agents
Mobile Agent coordination is of extreme importance in applications which are both time and space bound. More so when coordination can occur only through communication among a group of agents which can act only based on local knowledge of their environment. In such a scenario, it is interesting to study the evolution of a communication hierarchy for a hierarchical multiagent coordination task su...

متن کاملCoordination in Mobile Agent Applications
The paper addresses the issue of coordination in distributed applications based on mobile agents. The presence of mobile active computational entities makes traditional coordination models based on message-passing, such as the client-server one, not effective, from both the performance and the usability points of view. Indirect coordination models suit better the mobile scenario: interactions o...
متن کاملVoltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
