In complex, dynamic and uncertain environments extending from disaster rescue missions, to future battlefields, to monitoring and surveillance tasks, to virtual training environments, to future robotic space missions, intelligent agents will play a key role in information gathering and filtering, as well as in task planning and execution. Although physically distributed on a variety of platforms, these agents will interact with information sources, network facilities, and other agents via cyberspace, in the form of the Internet, Intranet, the secure defense communication network, or other forms of cyberspace. Indeed, it now appears well accepted that cyberspace will be (if it is not already) populated by a vast number of such distributed, individual agents.read more

Fly-by-agent: Controlling a pool of UAVs via a multi-agent system
TL;DR: The structure of the system is described and the re-organisation of the agents as the mission progresses is illustrated with an example and the importance of whole system issues and the integration and test cycle for getting AI techniques working and accepted in an application is described.

Coordination in Human-Agent-Robot Teamwork
Jeffrey M. Bradshaw,Paul J. Feltovich,Matthew Johnson,Larry Bunch,Maggie Breedy,Thomas C. Eskridge,Hyuckchul Jung,James Lott,Andrzej Uszok +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss some of the challenges and requirements for successful coordination, and briefly how they have used KAoS HART services framework to support coordination in a multi- team human-robot field exercise.

Adjustable Autonomy in the Context of Coordination
TL;DR: This approach to interaction between a large number of UAVs and a small number of humans has three key components which allow us to leverage human expertise by giving them responsibility for key coordination decisions, without risks to the coordination due to slow responses.

TL;DR: Kaa (KAoS adjustable autonomy), which extends previous work on KAoS policy and domain services to provide a policy-based capability for adjustable autonomy based on this richer notion of adjustable autonomy, is introduced.

Collaborative plans for complex group action
Barbara J. Grosz,Sarit Kraus +1 more
TL;DR: A revised and expanded version of SharedPlans that reformulates Pollack's (1990) definition of individual plans to handle cases in which a single agent has only partial knowledge and has the features required by Bratman's (1992) account of shared cooperative activity.

Towards Flexible Teamwork
TL;DR: In STEAM, team members monitor the team's and individual members' performance, reorganizing the team as necessary, and decision-theoretic communication selectivity in STEAM ensures reduction in communication overheads of teamwork, with appropriate sensitivity to the environmental conditions.

Towards flexible teamwork
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general, implemented model of teamwork, called STEAM, which is based on agents' building up a (partial) hierarchy of joint intentions (this hierarchy is seen to parallel Grosz & Kraus's partial Shared-Plans, 1996).
