• Resumen

  • Distributed teams of agents (robots and workstations) hold great promise for solving complex tasks efficiently, reliably, and automatically. But automatic coordination of the actions of the autonomous agents within a team remains a difficult problem. We suggest that, in order to engender cooperation and to avoid interference among the agents in a team, the general organization of the team reflect the structure of the task. Moreover, the team itself may be a dynamic, fluid entity whose logical structure is maintained by a run-time system, even in the face of attrition, substitution of team members, and explicit recruitment of new members. The Method of Dynamic Teams is based 011 this principle of fluidity.
