While executing its plan in a dynamic environment where multiple agents are operating, an
autonomous agent may suffer a failure due to discrepancies between the expected and …

Goal Reasoning (GR) concerns actors that assume the responsibility for dynamically
selecting the goals they pursue. Our focus is on modelling an actor's decision making when …

This paper builds on recent work in the declarative design of dialogue agents and proposes
an exciting new tool–D3BA (Declarative Design for Digital Business Automation)–to …

Abstract In Pickup and Delivery Problems (PDPs), mobile vehicles retrieve and deliver a set
of items. The PDP is a well-studied, NP-hard problem. Examples of the PDP include mail …

There are always various uncertainties in a deep space exploration mission, which induce a
significant impact on plan execution and may cause plan failures. In such case, remote …

One important challenge for cognitive systems research is to develop an integrated
architecture that can enable effective, natural human-robot interactions in open worlds …

In large scale multi-agent systems, both planning for system goals and replanning during
plan execution to handle failures are compute-intensive. Since replanning requires faster …

Pre-designed spacecraft plans suffer from failure due to the uncertain space environment. In
this case, instead of spending a long time waiting for ground control to upload a feasible …

In industrial domains such as manufacturing control, a trend away from centralized planning
and scheduling towards more flexible distributed agent-based approaches could be …

Individual team members are the building blocks of successful multi-robot teams in dynamic
competitive domains. The current approach to designing a team is to divide the planning into …
