Abstract
In this paper we aim to describe dynamic aspects of social and collective motivational attitudes in teams of agents involved in Cooperative Problem Solving (CPS). Particular attention is given to the strongest attitude, collective commitment, and its evolution in a course of teamwork. During team action, the collective commitment leads to the execution of agent-specific actions. A dynamic and unpredictable environment may, however, cause the failure of some of these actions, or present the agents with new opportunities. The abstract reconfiguration algorithm, presented in a previous paper, is designed to handle the re-planning needed in such situations in an efficient way. In this paper, the dynamic logic component of the logical framework addresses issues pertaining to adjustments in collective commitment during reconfiguration.
