(Hohai University) Hendriks, Koen V. (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) van Riemsdijk, M.B. (TU Delft Interactive Intelligence) Jonker, C.M. (TU Delft Interactive Intelligence) Date 2019-09-01 Abstract Agents in teamwork may be highly interdependent on each other, the awareness of interdependence relationships is an important requirement for designing and consequently implementing a multi-agent system. In this work, we propose a formal graphical and domain-independent language that can facilitate the identification of comprehensive interdependences among the agents in teamwork. Moreover, a formal semantics is also introduced to precisely express and explain the properties of a graphical structure. The novel feature of the graphical language is that it complements the Interdependence Analysis Color Scheme in a way that explicitly models negative influences and, in addition, provides a visual-communication aid for developers. To demonstrate the applicability and sufficiency of the graphical language in a variety of domains, our case studies include a multi-robot scenario and a human-robot scenario.
