Better Eager Than Lazy? How Agent Types Impact the Successfulness of Implicit Coordination. Bolander, T., Engesser, T., Mattmüller, R., & Nebel, B. Technical Report 2015.
abstract   bibtex   
Epistemic planning can be used for decision making in multi- agent situations with distributed knowledge and capabilities. In recent work, we proposed a new notion of strong policies with implicit coordination. With this it is possible to solve planning tasks with joint goals from a single-agent perspec- tive without the agents having to negotiate about and commit to a joint policy at plan time. We study how and under which circumstances the decentralized application of those policies leads to the desired outcome.
