A Theory of Action for MultiAgent Planning
Abstract
A theory of action suitable for reasoning about events in multiagent or dynamically changing environments is pre-scntcrl. A device called a process model is used to represent the observable behavior of an agent in performing an ac-tion. This model is more general than previous models of act ion, allowing sequencing, selection, nondeterminism, it-eration, and parallelism to be represented. It is shown how this model can be utilized in synthesizing plans and rea-soning about concurrency. In parbicular, conditions are de-rived for determining whether or not concurrent actions are free from mutual interference. It is also indicated how this theory pro!.ides a basis for understanding and reasoning about act, ion sentences in both natural and programming lariguagcs. 1.
