Abstract
In order to realize flexible strategic planning in multi-agent systems that are working in dynamic environment, it is necessary to provide a mechanism to integrate hierarchical planning (include team planning) and reactive behavior. The main issues of this integration are:
-
how to switch the context of plan In the dynamic environment, it is important how to terminate making and executing a plan when the environment changes so that the plan is not useful any more.
-
how to organize multiple planning It is better that agents in a complex environment can have ability to making multiple planning, because such agents may have multiple goals in the same time. For example, in the case of soccer, while agents have an obvious goal “win the game (or score goals)”, also the agent should have another instinctive goals, that is “not to miss their position”, “follow the rule”, and so on, in the same time. The similar requirement will be happen when agents try to make a consensus by communication during they were acting something. So, it will make the problem simple that the agent has parallel planning process, that is action planning and communication planning.
