Presentation Transcript

  1. Coordinating Agents’ Plans Discussion

  2. Presentation Topics • companies that share a resource that must be scheduled • finding joint goals to meet individual preferences • representing and evaluating privacy • transforming representations for other algorithms • system architecture for continual planning/scheduling • decoupling relationships among agents

  3. Topics • What are the real motivations for multiagent planning? • What are the current trends in research? • What are the next best directions for research? • What are the next worst directions for research? • Are market-driven approaches suitable for self-interested problems? • How do we (or should we) connect better with planning community? • What is interesting about the online problem wrt multiple agents? • Should we research how to design a multiagent planning/scheduling? • What guidance do we have (and should we take) from applications? • To what extent should research consider humans as part of the problem? • Should there be more benchmarks or competitions?

  4. What are the real motivations for multiagent planning? • privacy • autonomy • central point of failure? • communication constraints • responding quickly to local incidents • self-interest • parallelism? • others?

  5. What are the current trends in research? • market-based scheduling • MDPs • TÆMS • DCSP/DCOP • HCI / mixed-initiative • adjustable autonomy

  6. What are the next best/worst directions for research? • best • market-based scheduling • MDPs • TÆMS • how to design a multiagent system from scratch • worst

  7. Are market-driven approaches suitable for self-interested problems? • water-treatment? • goal-choices based on preferences?

  8. Should there be more benchmarks or competitions? Maybe we can use existing competition benchmarks: • robocup rescue • coordinator’s CTAEMS • trading agent competition (eg supply chain)
