De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Bos, A. (author), Tonino, H. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)In a multi-agent system, agents are carrying out certain tasks by executing plans. Consequently, the problem of finding a plan, given a certain goal, has been given a lot of attention in the literature. Instead of concentrating on this problem, the focus of this paper is on cooperation between agents which already have constructed plans for...journal article 2003

De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Bos, A. (author), Tonino, J.F.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)The promise of multi-agent systems is that multiple agents can solve problems more efficiently than single agents can. In this paper we propose a method to implement cooperation between agents in the planning phase, in order to achieve more cost-effective solutions than without cooperation. Two results are presented: First of all, we introduce a...conference paper 2000

Bos, A. (author), Tonino, J.F.M. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)We introduce a computational framework, consisting of resources, skills, goals and services to represent the plans of individual agents and to develop models and algorithms for cooperation processes between a collection of agents.conference paper 2000

De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Bos, A. (author), Tonino, J.F.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)We introduce an algorithm for cooperative planning in multi-agent systems. The algorithm enables the agents to combine (fuse) their plans in order to increase their joint profits. A computational resources and skills framework is developed for representing the planned activities of an agent under time constraints. Using this resource-skill...conference paper 2000
