Design-to-Criteria Scheduling: Real-Time Agent Control [chapter]

Thomas Wagner, Victor Lesser
2001 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
Design-to-Criteria builds custom schedules for agents that meet hard temporal constraints, hard resource constraints, and soft constraints stemming from soft task interactions or soft commitments made with other agents. Design-to-Criteria is designed specifically for online application -it copes with exponential combinatorics to produce these custom schedules in a resource bounded fashion. This enables agents to respond to changes in problem solving or the environment as they arise.
