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

Ten challenges for making automation a "team player" in joint human-agent activity
TL;DR: This analysis is based on some of the principles of human-centered computing that have developed individually and jointly over the years, and is adapted from a more comprehensive examination of common ground and coordination.

Adjustable Autonomy and Human-Agent Teamwork in Practice: An Interim Report on Space Applications
Jeffrey M. Bradshaw,Maarten Sierhuis,Alessandro Acquisti,Paul J. Feltovich,Robert R. Hoffman,Renia Jeffers,Debbie Prescott,Niranjan Suri,Andrzej Uszok,Ron van Hoof +9 more
TL;DR: This work summarizes the interim results of the study on the problem of work practice modeling and human-agent collaboration in space applications, the development of a broad model of human- agent teamwork grounded in practice, and the integration of the Brahms, KAoS, and NOMADS agent frameworks.

Making Agents Acceptable to People
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the technical and social aspects of how to make agents acceptable to people and devise a computational structure that guarantees that from the technical standpoint all is under control, and provide reassurance to people that all is working according to plan.

Partial global planning: a coordination framework for distributed hypothesis formation
Edmund H. Durfee,Victor Lesser +1 more
TL;DR: Partial global planning is used to provide a framework for coordinating multiple AI systems that are cooperating in a distributed sensor network as discussed by the authors, which enables separate AI systems to reason about their roles and responsibilities as part of group problem solving and to modify their planned processing and communication actions to act as a more coherent team.

Agent architectures for flexible, practical teamwork
TL;DR: This work argues that the key to flexibility and reusability is agent architectures with integrated teamwork capabilities, and illustrates this fundamental shift in agent architectures via an implemented candidate: STEAM.

Interference as a tool for designing and evaluating multi-robot controllers
Dani Goldberg,Maja J. Matarić +1 more
TL;DR: It is explored how key issues in multi-robot control can be addressed using interference, a directly measurable property of a multi- robot system.

Designing conventions for automated negotiation
TL;DR: This work considers how concepts from fields such as decision theory and game theory can provide standards to be used in the design of appropriate negotiation and interaction environments in distributed systems made up of machines that have been programmed by different entities to pursue different goals.
