Abstract
Personal Assistant agents are becoming increasingly important in a variety of application domains in offices, at home, for medical care and many others [5, 1]. These agents are required to constantly monitor their environment (including the state of their users), and make periodic decisions based on their monitoring. For example, in an office environment, agents may need to monitor the location of their user in order to ascertain whether the user would be able to make it on time to a meeting [5]. Or, they may be required to monitor the progress of a user on a particular assignment and decide whether or not the user would be able to meet the deadline for completing the assignment. Teamwork between such agents is important in Personal Assistant applications to enable agents working together to achieve a common goal (such as finishing a project on time). This working demonstration shows a hybrid(BDI-POMDP) approach to accomplish such teamwork.

Towards Flexible Teamwork in Persistent Teams: Extended Report
Teamwork is a critical capability in multi-agent environments. Many such environments mandate that the agents and agent-teams must be persistent i.e., exist over long periods of time. Agents in such persistent teams are bound together by their long-term ...
Observant and Proactive Communication in Multi-agent Teamwork
IAT '06: Proceedings of the IEEE/WIC/ACM international conference on Intelligent Agent TechnologyThis paper investigates effective human team cooperation and incorporated the findings into multi-agent teamwork. We describe how to give agents the same cooperative capabilities, observability and proactivity, that humans use. We show how agents can ...
Hybrid POMDP-BDI
ICAART 2015: Proceedings of the International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence - Volume 1Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) and the belief-desire-intention (BDI) framework
have several complimentary strengths. We propose an agent architecture which combines these two powerful
approaches to capitalize on their strengths. ...
