Multiagent Systems: Challenges and Opportunities for Decision-Theoretic Planning
1999
The AI Magazine
In this article, I describe several challenges facing the integration of two distinct lines of AI research: (1) decision-theoretic planning (DTP) and (2) multiagent systems. ...
By integrating models of DTP in multiagent systems research, more sophisticated multiagent planning scenarios can be accommodated, at the same time explaining precisely how agents determine their valuations ...
In sequential decision making under uncertainty, say, that involves the solution of an MDP, an agent generally considers a number of potential courses of action and settles on the one with the highest ...

Conflicts in teamwork
2005
Proceedings of the fourth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems - AAMAS '05
