Partial Evaluation for Planning in Multiagent Expedition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider how to plan optimally in a testbed, multiagent expedition (MAE), by centralized or distributed computation. As optimal planning in MAE is highly intractable, we investigate speedup through partial evaluation of a subset of plans whereby only the intended effect of a plan is evaluated when certain conditions hold. We apply this technique to centralized planning and demonstrate significant speedup in runtime while maintaining optimality. We investigate the technique in distributed planning and analyze the pitfalls.

Multiagent Expedition with Graphical Models
We investigate a class of multiagent planning problems termed multiagent expedition, where agents move around an open, unknown, partially observable, stochastic, and physical environment, in pursuit of multiple and alternative goals of different utility. Optimal planning in multiagent expedition is highly intractable.We introduce the notion of conditional optimality, decompose the task into a s...
متن کاملPlanning in Multiagent Expedition with Collaborative Design Networks
DEC-POMDPs provide formal models of many cooperative multiagent problems, but their complexity is NEXP-complete in general. We investigate a sub-class of DEC-POMDPs termed multiagent expedition. A typical instance consists of an area populated by mobile agents. Agents have no prior knowledge of the area, have limited sensing and communication, and effects of their actions are uncertain. Success...
متن کاملContinual Collaborative Planning for Mixed-Initiative Action and Interaction (Short Paper)
Multiagent environments are often highly dynamic and only partially observable which makes deliberative action planning computationally hard. In many such environments, however, agents can take a more proactive approach and suspend planning for partial plan execution, especially for active information gathering and interaction with others. This paper presents a new algorithm for Continual Colla...

متن کاملA Multiagent Planning Language
This paper discusses specific features of planning in multiagent domains and presents concepts for a multiagent extension of PDDL, the Multiagent Planning Language MAPL (“maple”). MAPL uses non-boolean state variables and thus allows to describe an agent’s ignorance of facts as well as a simplified mutex concept. The time model of MAPL is based on Simple Temporal Networks and allows both quanti...
