Coordination of complex systems based on multi-agent planning: Application to the aircraft simulation domain

Abstract

The design of complex systems needs sophisticated coordination mechanisms. This paper proposes an approach based on multi-agent planning to coordinate such systems in the tactical aircraft simulation domain. This paper presents an integral cycle, from modelling to validation, that enables the building of feasible multi-agent plans as developped in a project named SCALA promoted at Dassault Aviation. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
