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

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).
