Abstract: It is critical for agents in a multiagent environment to avoid interfering with each other when carrying out their tasks. However, to avoid execution ine#ciencies, they also should capitalize on cooperative opportunities. In state oriented domains [14], identifying overlapping e#ects between agents' plans enables some agents to leave some tasks to others, thereby reducing the cost of execution and improving the overall e#ciency of the multiagent system. This is what we term synergy. In this... (Update)
