....it leads to a quite different concept of intelligence. Regarding technology, recent attempts to develop larger and more complex knowledge based systems have revealed shortcomings of centralized, single agent architectures and have acted as a springboard for research in Distributed AI (DAI; cf. Adler et al. 1992; Mller, 1993) Multi agent systems emphasize the aspect of task related cooperation of independent (autonomous) agents. An open spectrum of agent types has been considered (Mller Siekmann, 1991) reaching from primitive (sensor driven, reactive) agents through to social agents with a ....

Recent attempts to develop more complex knowledge based systems have revealed shortcomings of centralized, single agent architectures and have acted as a springboard for research in Distributed AI (Adler et al. 1992). Various models and notions of agents are currently found in diverse literature in the fields of autonomous and distributed systems (Meinkoehn and Knoll 1993) language action systems (Chapman 1991) and graphics animation (Badler et al. 1991) Of interest, in our context, is work on interface ....

Beale Wood (1993) describe a set of attributes that make a task agent worthy. The agents and criteria described by Bird (1993) Adler (1992), and Avouris et al. (1993) focus on the underlying organisation of a system rather than the tasks performed for the user. 3.

Cooperation is necessary when global goals cannot be achieved 1 This paper does only present the motivation and a short outline of our approach without having the possibility to go into details. individually, or individual goals can be achieved with lower costs collectively [Adler et al. 1992] . Costs may be evaluated through the total number of actions and interactions between agents. In a multi robot framework, an equilibrium has to be reached between autonomy and cooperation. 2 MOTIVATION Agents are intelligent and autonomous entities which act on their own in using their ....

....encapsulates reactive, cognitive, cooperative and social competences. Autonomy is one of the fundamental characteristics of an agent [9] Autonomous agents need to cooperate when they cannot achieve global goals individually, or when individual goals can be achieved with lower costs collectively [1]. During the cooperation of agents conAEicts may arise; they are are generally solved by negotiation and coordination strategies [5,15,21] Nevertheless, social competences are very helpful for agents to reduce occurring conAEicts within an agent society through the reorganisation of the society. ....

....agents in a similar manner, all the agents would have to have a common mechanism that the user could use to establish a user access control policy. For these two reasons, the distributed solution is very difficult to implement. More discussion of distributed heterogeneous agents can be found in (Adler et al. 1992). In the centralized approach, one agent would have to be designated as a coordinator of all other agents. The user would need to interact only with this agent to establish or change the user access policy. This seems to be a more feasible approach to the coordination of multiple agents. For this ....

....is of interest to us. A situated agent has the ability to exploit the actual situation, to the extent possible, as a source of information in perceiving and manipulating its environment and communicating with cooperating partners 1 [4, 11] On the other hand, we found multiagent architectures [1] of great advantage to our goal of building an intelligent interface for a complex application. In this paper we describe an application of a multiagent system for interacting with a virtual environment by way of situated communication, carried out in the VIENA project [18] Due to the ....
