There is a general agreement in the multi-agent research community that environ- ments are essential for multi-agent systems, yet researchers neglect to integrate the environment as a primary abstraction in their models and tools for multi-agent...Research Paper • May 21st, 2004
Contract Type FiledMay 21st, 2004At the moment, we still have not identified a general methodology to help us identify, given a specific motion pattern to be enforced, which fields have to be defined, how they should be propagated, and how they should be combined in a coordination field. We are confident some methodology to help in that direction can be found in the future, and would possibly make Co-Fields applicable to a wider class of distributed coordination problems even beyond motion coordi- nation. Nevertheless, the immediate applicability of Co-Fields is guaranteed by two important considerations:
