I-Globe: Distributed Planning and Coordination of Mixed-initiative Activities

I-Globe: Distributed Planning and Coordination of Team-oriented Activities

We present an approach to distributed planning and coordination architecture for dynamic non-deterministic multiactor mixed-initiative environment. The system provides flexible planning, replanning, and task allocation. The key idea of the presented approach is in integration of (i) I-X hierarchical planner with (ii) agent-based architecture and (iii) commitment-based plan representation. The i...

Optimal Distributed Generation Planning in Radial Distribution Networks Considering Protection Coordination Limits

Distributed generation (DG) has been widely used in distribution network to reduce the energy losses, improve voltage profile and system reliability, etc.  The location and capacity of DG units can influence on probability of protection mal-operation in distribution networks. In this paper, a novel model for DG planning is proposed to find the optimum DG location and sizing in radial distr...

Distributed planning and coordination in non-deterministic environments

We present a demonstration of a multi-agent prototype for distributed planning and coordination in dynamic non-deterministic multi-actor mixed-initiative environments. The system provides flexible planning, replanning, and task allocation. The key technologies utilized in the system are (i) I-X hierarchical planner with (ii) agent-based architecture and (iii) commitment-based plan representatio...

Mixed-initiative interaction

James F. Allen, University of Rochester Mixed-initiative interaction is a key aspect of effective human-computer interaction and has great potential to affect work on multiagent systems. The term mixed-initiative interaction is sometimes conflated with human-computer interaction itself, but this is a mistake because almost all models of HCI so far are not mixedinitiative, and mixed-initiative s...
