Abstract

The term Multi-Agent Planning (MAP) refers to any kind of planning in domains in which several independent entities (agents) plan and act together. Recently, a number of attempts have used argumentation to handle the issue of selecting the best actions for an agent to do in a given situation [4]. Particularly, there have been proposals to apply argumentation theory to planning, for dealing with conflicting plans or goals. Most notably, the work in [3] represents a step ahead towards the resolution of a planning problem through argumentation by modeling a planner agent able to reason defeasibly. None of these works, however, apply to a multi-agent scenario except the work in [2] which presents an argumentation-based approach for cooperative agents who discuss plan proposals.
