Title
Commitment Management in Real-Time Multi-Agent Systems
Abstract
Today, real-time systems should be designed to be flexible and adaptable. For this reason, the multi-agent system paradigm seems to be appropriate for real-time system development. In the case of distributed real-time systems, complexity is added when a node must delegate a task with temporal restrictions to another node. This delegation can be modeled as a commitment act in a multi-agent system. This paper presents a commitment management framework that is specifically designed for real-time agents. This framework allows the agent to decide (in a bounded time) if it has the necessary resources and time to do the required task, and thus accept the commitment. This paper also presents an execution example that shows how this framework works.
