In the multi-agent pathfinding problem, groups of agents need to plan paths between their respective start and goal locations in a given environment, usually a two-dimensional map...
As no plan can cover all possible contingencies, the ability to detect failures during plan execution is crucial to the robustness of any autonomous system operating in a dynamic ...
In dangerous and uncertain environments initial plans must be revised. Communication failures hamper this replanning. We introduce fractured subteams as a novel formalism for mode...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are a very popular tool for decision theoretic planning (DTP), partly because of the welldeveloped, expressive theory that includes effective solu...
Formal theories of multi-agent systems require a rich ontology for modelling the dynamics of social behaviour. In this paper a formal analysis of the social behaviour of individua...
