This paper describes the design of computer agents that can collaborate with humans in planning. It includes an explicit problem solving level that mediates between the human-computer interaction and the underlying automated plan reasoners. We also describe a plan reasoning system that allows for incremental, interactive development of plans to support collaborative planning. This model has bee...

Health care task planning process is fundamentally a collaborative task that requires the participation of many health care professionals with different skills working simultaneously on same cases. However, most recent healthcare research has focused on methods mainly based on communication, rather than collaboration supports. We followed then a collaborative-based planning approach which const...

SUMMARY The planning of road, railway, and subway tracks in urban environments is a manifold task because of complex legal, environmental, economic, and structural problems. However, skills and knowledge of the participants differ substantially and computer support for complex planning still is at its beginning. Especially computer-aided collaborative planning for 3D city and building models is...

In a collaborative planning environment in which the agents are autonomous and heterogeneous, it is inevitable that discrepancies in the agents' beliefs result in con#icts during the planning process. In such cases, it is important that the agents engage in collaborative negotiation to resolve the detected con#icts in order to determine what should constitute their shared plan of actions and sh...

In this work, a framework to model the Supply Chain (SC) Collaborative Planning (CP) process is proposed. The main contributions of this framework concern 1) the presentation of the decision view, the most important one due to the characteristics of the process, jointly within the physical, organisation and information views, and 2) the simultaneous consideration of the spatial and temporal int...

The use of planning assistant agents is an appropriate option to provide support for members of a coalition. Planning agents can extend the human abilities and be customised to attend different kinds of activities. However, the implementation of a planning framework must also consider other important requirements for coalitions, such as the performance of collaborative activities and human-agen...
