Title
Integrating High-Level and Detailed Agent Coordination into a Layered Architecture
Abstract
Multi-agent coordination is an important and complicated process. This paper proposes a layered approach to coordination in which low-level domain independent coordination and scheduling modules deal with detailed temporal and resource constraints and high-level controllers focus on domain issues and domain state. A general agent architecture is described based on this agent control model. The integration of the low-level controllers with high-level JIL process programming language is used to explore the model. The possibility of integrating with other frameworks such as domain planners and BDI-based controllers is also explored.
