....still others [for example, 30, 56, 71, 72, and 85] In general, cooperation in distributed approaches can be divided into two categories: fortuitous cooperation and planned cooperation.

However, to date, no group has designed a control architecture that combines all necessary elements for coordinating multiple robots engaged in executing complex tasks in highly dynamic environments, in a robust and efficient manner. 2.5.

....by the set of rules that the system designers choose for the agents environment. In Rosenschein and Zlotkin study [18] the agents are homogeneous, and the assumption is that there are no side payments. In other words, the goal is to share the work, not to pay for work. Sandholm s agents [19,20,1] redistribute work among themselves by a contracting mechanism. Unlike Rosenschein and Zlotkin, Sandholm considers agreements involving explicit payments. 7 Conclusions and Future Work In this paper we have presented an overview of the MAGNET automated contracting system, and preliminary results ....

.... , when visiting his cities, is the sum of the costs along his tour: c i = X q and r that are consecutive cities on the tour of salesman i c qr The objective of agent i is to maximize payments re 2 This is the same domain as the one used in a comparison of different full commitment protocols [3, 5]. The TSP was used as an example domain because it is combinatorially complex (NP complete) and the space of task allocations contains many local optima when using hill climbing based contracting algorithms [11, 13] Another advantage of the TSP is its structural simplicity, which provides for ....

....leveled commitment protocols as well. Leveled Commitment vs. Full Commitment. Compared to full commitment O contracts, the leveled commitment protocols clearly improve the social welfare of the solution (Figures 1 and 2) if the number of agents and tasks is large enough. In earlier research [3, 5], the different full commitment protocols have been compared; Figure 1, bottom graph, summarizes which of O , C , S , or M contracts were the best for different numbers of tasks and agents. Comparing the graphs in Figure 1 we see that leveled commitment O contracts and full commitment Ocontracts ....
