Abstract

This paper considers the problem of temporal scheduling of actions in a cooperative activity under time constraints. In order to carry out their cooperative activity the agents perform collaborative planning that includes processes that are responsible for identifying recipes, assigning actions to agents and determining the time of the actions. A recipe for an action consists of subactions which may be either basic actions or complex actions.
