摘要: Applying coordination mechanisms to handle interdependencies that exist between agents in multi-agent systems (MASs), is an important issue. In this paper, two levels MAS modeling scheme and a language describe plan based on agents' plans are proposed. Initially generic study of possible MASs presented, followed by the formal (using Colored Petri Nets) for those dependencies. These control dependencies avoid unsafe interactions where individual merged into global plan. This separation, managed mechanisms, offers more powerful modularity modeling.
