Abstract: | Today’s organizations, under increasing pressure on the effectiveness and the increasing need for dealing with complex tasks
beyond a single individual’s capabilities, need technological support in managing complex tasks that involve highly distributed
and heterogeneous information sources and several actors. This paper describes CoPSF, a multiagent system middle-ware that
simplifies the development of coordinated problem solving applications while ensuring standard compliance through a set of
system services and agents. CoPSF hosts and serves multiple concurrent teams of problem solving contributing both to the limitation
of communication overheads and to the reduction of redundant work across teams and organizations. The framework employs (i) an interleaved task decomposition and allocation approach, (ii) a mechanism for coordination of agents’ work, and (iii) a mechanism that enables synergy between parallel teams. |
