Coherent cooperative strategies using meta-level communication among intelligent systems
Brahim Chaib-draa, Patrick Millot · 1988
In order to have a optimal assignment of roles and a coherent and coordination cooperation among communicating problem solvers, with only a limited amount of intercommunication, we propose a architecture based on two blackboards BBI and BB2.The blackboard BB2 allows to reason effectively about attitudes such as knew, believe and want.The blackboard BBI allows to solve agent's task.This architecture facilitates the meta-level informations exchange before, during ~n~ after the cooperative distributed problem solving.1 -Before to solve the problem, the group exchanges meta-levels factors such as : knowledge factor, conStcaint factor and performance factor.2 -During the cooperative problem solving, the group has the facility to assign role and to have a coherent and coordinated behavior, owing to previous exchange.3 -After the problem s~]ving the least workloaded takes stock t is problem solving, an~ transmitts the assessment to all implicated agents to help the group for the same next problem, we will ~hnw how this model can be applied to the cooperation amoung telerobots.Preliminary results support these ideas.
