EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF MULTI-AGENT PLANNING DOMAINS WITH CONCURRENT ACTIONS

Abstract

This research explores multi-agent planning where agents are not same. Unlike real world problem, most classical planner solves on a basic assumption that all agents are same. However, in most of the practical cases, Agents are of different capabilities. In this paper, we discuss shows that a slight modification in classical planning approach can be used as a planning method with heterogeneous agents. We propose an interface to handle the heterogeneity in agent`s capability.Since it is not desirable that we build a separate planner for heterogeneous agents, thus an existing planner is used. In this paper, we show how an existing classical planner with an extra interface can be proved very useful in solving heterogeneity problem of agent in planning.
