We present a negotiation based coalition formation scheme for autonomous agents residing in the physical world. While in the virtual world we can abstract the negotiation into a calculation of rewards and ignore the details of the physical substrate of the negotiation, in the physical world we need to concern ourselves with variables such as the geographical location of the agent, range of the communication devices, path planning, obstacles and hazards, the necessity of co-location and the temporal constraints assocatiated with it. We concentrate on agents with coordinated location and speed (convoys) which can improve their performance by being able to traverse previously inaccessible areas. We assume a model where agents can dynamically join and leave the coalition.
