What: Localized Event-Based Reasoning for Multiagent Domains
This talk will present GEM, a structured, event-based concurrency model,
and GEMPLAN, a multiagent planner based on this model. A key focus of
this work has been the development of localized techniques for domain
representation and reasoning. Such techniques partition domain
descriptions and reasoning tasks according to the regions of activity
within a domain. GEM's use of locality is beneficial for alleviating
the frame problem in multiagent domains. GEMPLAN is a planning
architecture based on localized planning search spaces. By explicitly
utilizing constraint and property localization, GEMPLAN can pinpoint and
rectify interactions among regional search spaces, thereby reducing the
burden of ``interaction analysis'' ubiquitous to most planning systems.
