This research is funded under the Special Initiative on Coordination Theory and Collaboration Technology. This is one of eleven winners under that competition. This research is directed towards integrating concepts from artificial intelligence, organization theory, and operations research into a single framework. The research argument is that the plans, organizations, and schedules studies in these separate fields can share a common representation, and are simply different abstractions of a behavioral specification. The PI develops a hierarchical, multi-dimensional specification for behavior that subsumes traditional goal, plan, functional and product hierarchies. the research outlines a protocol for coordination based on the behavioral specification, where intelligent agents incrementally exchange behavioral information and search through alternative behaviors to resolve conflicts and promote cooperation. The research also implements and evaluates this framework both in the context of cooperative robotics domain, and in the context of an intelligent systems for scheduling meetings between people. The objective is to generate scientific and technological advances using a novel, interdisciplinary approach to coordination.

这项研究由协调理论和协作技术特别倡议资助。 这是该比赛的十一名获奖者之一。 这项研究旨在将人工智能、组织理论和运筹学的概念整合到一个框架中。 研究论点是，这些不同领域的计划、组织和时间表研究可以共享共同的表示，并且只是行为规范的不同抽象。 PI 开发了一个分层的、多维的行为规范，其中包含传统的目标、计划、功能和产品层次结构。 该研究概述了一种基于行为规范的协调协议，其中智能代理逐步交换行为信息并搜索替代行为以解决冲突并促进合作。 该研究还在协作机器人领域和用于安排人与人之间会议的智能系统的背景下实施和评估了该框架。 目标是利用新颖的跨学科协调方法来推动科学和技术进步。
