....the design and prototype build of a new product. Poor performance or poor management of an activity can result in critical delays. If product development time is to be reduced, then better management and technical support should be provided to each of the activities. The Callisto project [SFG85] [SRM86] examines the extension and application of artificial intelligence techniques to the domain of large project management. Managing large projects entails many tasks, including: Activity Management: Plan generation, scheduling, monitoring and control of activities. This involves selecting ....

....sharing of local aspects of a global problem. However, strategic communication in competitive environments has been explored[191] 235] Nevertheless, the generation of resolutions to conflict typically involves some form of compromise, goal relaxation, or goal dropping [1] 122] 136] 172][240][275] The type of resolution outcome can be characterized independently of the bargaining architecture which produces it[211] In general, the main focus of these projects is not on defining new resolution generation techniques, but on incorporating resolution into a distributed artificial ....

....few prescriptions for how conflict resolution can be facilitated. In addition, much of this work focuses on issues specific to the psychology of human participants, rather than on the general nature of conflict resolution. There is in addition some work on supporting human conflict resolution [21, 40, 37, 43, 5, 19, 30, 4, 13, 34, 41, 48]. This includes research on group consensus building and group decision support systems, or GDSSs. This work focuses, however, on competitive conflicts and or limits itself to structuring interactions among group members, rather than applying conflict resolution expertise to help resolve the ....

.... dealt with negotiations in the case of cooperative systems which are designed to achieve a common general task, or in which the agents belong to the same organization or unit (see for example [19] which describes a method for synthesizing multi agent plans from simple single agent plans, [52] which deals with project management, 9] and [10] which deal with the vehicle monitoring domain, and [51] which deals with resource reallocations) Conflicts among the agents in these environments may arise while each tries to achieve its own sub tasks (for example, they may need to share the ....

....relevant information, the amount of information can become overwhelming [8, 41, 54] By building AI systems with coordination knowledge, we can remove some of the burden from people. Domains where this is important include intelligent command and control systems and multiuser project coordination [16, 57, 60, 70]. By building networks of CDPS computer assistants for the people in an organization, we can improve coordination by allowing these assistants to solve (initially routine) coordination problems such as scheduling meetings or routing messages to suitable people. The advantages of this CDPS ....

....a history of previous negotiations and compromises, could be useful in CDPS networks. The negotiation framework developed by Sathi and his colleagues also has not been directly applied to CDPS. In their framework, agents iteratively relax their constraints until a compromise is reached [70]. Agents can propose a compromise using a variety of negotiation operators, such as slightly relaxing interacting constraints (log rolling) agreeing to relax the solution criteria, substituting one resource with another, bridging the different viewpoints by proposing a completely new solution, ....

....agents, knowledge bases with reasoning strategies, that can plan their course of action independently of others yet are still capable of communicating with and supporting each other. Examples of systems based on distributed agents architectures include systems for multi user project co ordination (Sathi, Morton and Roth 1986, Klein 1991) and for resource allocation in long haul communication networks (Adler et al. 1989) Distributed AI literature claims that multiagent distributed agent architecture is much closer in operation to the natural systems, for example human societies and insect colonies, in that there is a ....

.... directly [63] But while Pan and Tenenbaum have been developing their framework from the bottom up using relatively simple agents initially, their work has led them into the same scientific arena as researchers that have been investigating the use of AI and DAI to support human organizations [9, 17, 46, 61, 70, 74, 75, 81]. In their invited paper entitled DAI Betwixt and Between: From intelligent agents to open systems science, Hewitt and Inman also emphasize the critical role that DAI should play in bridging the gap between what mainstream AI technology can provide for enhancing personal productivity and what ....
