Decentralized control of a cooperative multi-agent system is the problem faced by multiple decision-makers that share a common set of objectives. The decision-makers may be robots placed at separate geographical locations or computational processes distributed in an information space. It may be impossible or undesirable for these decision-makers to share all their knowledge all the time. Furthermore, exchanging information may incur a cost associated with the required bandwidth or with the risk of revealing it to competing agents. Assuming that communication may not be reliable adds another dimension of complexity to the problem.This paper develops a decision-theoretic solution to this problem, treating both standard actions and communication as explicit choices that the decision maker must consider. The goal is to derive both action policies and communication policies that together optimize a global value function. We present an analytical model to evaluate the trade-off between the cost of communication and the value of the information received. Finally, to address the complexity of this hard optimization problem, we develop a practical approximation technique based on myopic meta-level control of communication.
