Abstract

In this paper, we analyze cooperation phenomena based on agent synthesis on merge of timed two-input discrete transition systems. The model allows handling of possible incomplete task environment descriptions and representation of nondeterministic directive effects and/or deviating (or blocking) disturbances defined over agent capabilities. Also, we propose an agent dependency measure that uses the result of additive Merge&Synthesis operation for quantification purpose.
