Many objectives can be achieved (or may be achieved more effectively) only by a group of agents executing a team plan. If a team plan fails, it is often of interest to determine what caused the failure, the degree of responsibility of each agent for the failure, and the degree of blame attached to each agent. We show how team plans can be represented in terms of structural equations, and then a...

the sunn pest, eurygaster integriceps put. is an important pest of wheat in firozabad region of ardabil province, iran. in this study the spatial distribution of overwintered adult was investigated in rainfed wheat fields. then, fixed precision sequential sampling plan was developed and validated for estimating overwintered adult density. iwao's patchiness regression gave a better fit to d...

A program is described which augments plans with synchronizing primitives to ensure appropriate conflict avoidance and cooperation The plans are particularly suitable for describing the activity of multiple agents which may interfere with each other The interpretation of a plan is given as a non deterministic finite automaton which exchanges messages with an environment for the commencement and...

This work proposes a method to generate robot plans by evolutionary computation. The main focus of the work is the representation of the plan. The reactive plan can be represented with a fixed length string that is suitable to be evolved by Genetic Algorithms. Two experiments are performed comparing the reactive plan with the ordinary plan: controlling a manipulator and the artificial ant probl...
