Abstract
This paper presents an application to a Distributed Agenda Management problem through a decentralised multi-agent co-ordination model. Each agent represents a user’s personal agenda, which must to coordinate with other agendas in order to reach a joint commitment, such as a meeting scheduling, respecting user’s privacy and local constraints. Constraints represent personal preferences and committed engagements that must be take into account during a search for a globally consistent schedule. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the application of the decentralised co-ordination model addressing distributed satisfaction constraints through negotiation, plan relations and social dependence.
