Abstract

The role of social commitments in distributed, multi-agent planning and plan execution will be discussed in this article. We argue agents' capability to reason about the actions in the form of social commitments directly improving robustness of the plans in dynamic, multi-actor environment. We focused on relaxation decommitment strategy, targeted specifically to the time interval in which the agent agrees to accomplish the commitment. We will discuss how changes of this interval affect the plan execution and how the potential changes of this interval can be represented in the commitment itself. The value of the use of social commitments in planning in dynamic, multi-actor environment has been documented on a series of empirical experiments.
