Abstract

In stratified multi-agent planning (SMAP), the parent planning agent and its child planning agents work together to achieve a goal. The parent planning agent executes a rough plan for a goal, and the child planning agents execute detailed plans for subgoals. Although this kind of SMAP is efficient, it is difficult for the parent agent to change the plan while a child planning agent is working. On the other hand, on-line planning, where the agent continuously updates its plan during the plan execution, is very important if we need to implement planning agents working in dynamic environments. This paper shows how to realize on-line planning in SMAP. For this purpose, we extend Dynagent which is an on-line HTN planning agent system.
