Within a group of cooperating agents the decision making of an individual agent depends on the actions of the other agents. In dynamic environments, these dependencies will change rapidly as a result of the continuously changing state. Via a contextspecific decomposition of the problem into smaller subproblems, coordination graphs offer scalable solutions to the problem of multiagent decision m...
