Abstract

We formulate the multi-team formation (M-TF) domain-independent problem and describe a generic solution for the problem. We illustrate the M-TF derogation component in the domain of an urban fire disaster.. The M-TF problem is the precursor of teamwork that explicitly addresses the achievement of several short time period goals, where the work to achieve the complete set of goals overwhelms the working capacity of the team formation space (all teams formed from the finite set of available agents). Decisions regarding team formation are made considering that team reformation is the means to counteract possible deviations from a desirable teamwork behavioral performance. The RoboCupRescue large-scale disaster environment is used to illustrate the design of the derogation domain-specific M-TF component.
