De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Tonino, J.F.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)In this paper we will use the framework to study cooperative heuristic multi-agent planning. During the construction of their plans, the agents use a heuristic function inspired by the FF planner (l3l). At any time in the process of planning the agents may exchange available resources, or they may request an agent to produce a missing resource....conference paper 2001

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
