Coordination of Complex Systems Based on Multi-agent Planning: Application to the Aircraft Simulation Domain

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3346))

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.
