Abstract

'Team oriented programming' indicates a number of different approaches to the formation of teams of agents and their coordination in order to achieve specified goals. This paper describes a framework, called SimpleTeam, aimed at team oriented programming. Simple Team supports the writing of team plans that represent the activity of a group of agents or sub-teams in order to achieve a team goal, and provides a set of primitives to control concurrency, exception handling and so on. An example application is presented, with discussion of how the approach can help to simplify the design of coordinated behaviour in multi-agent systems.
