Both human collaboration and software agent collaboration have been thoroughly studied,
but there is relatively little research on hybrid human-agent teamwork. Some research has …

Among researchers in multi-agent systems there has been growing interest in using
intelligent agents to model and simulate human teamwork behaviors. Teamwork modeling is …

Agent technology currently plays an important role in complex software development. The
underlying paradigm offers a large repertoire of original concepts, architectures, interaction …

This paper presents an approach to using a large team of UAVs to find radio frequency (RF)
emitting targets in a large area. Small, inexpensive UAVs that can collectively and rapidly …

Major natural or man-made disasters such as Hurricane Katrina or the 9/11 terror attacks
pose significant challenges for emergency responders. First, they have to develop an …

Extreme teams, large-scale agent teams operating in dynamic environments, are on the
horizon. Such environments are problematic for current task allocation algorithms due to the …

In the aftermath of major disasters, first responders are typically overwhelmed with large
numbers of, spatially distributed, search and rescue tasks, each with their own requirements …

Human-robot interaction requires explicit reasoning on human environment and on robot
capacities to achieve its tasks in a collaborative way with a human partner. We have devised …

In cooperative multi-agent systems, roles are used as a design concept when creating large
systems, they are known to facilitate specialization of agents, and they can help to reduce …

Many current large-scale multiagent team implementations can be characterized as
following the``belief-desire-intention''(BDI) paradigm, with explicit representation of team …
