Correct-by-Design Teamwork Plans for Multi-Agent Systems
We propose Teamwork Synthesis, a version of the distributed synthesis problem with application to teamwork multi-agent systems. We reformulate the distributed synthesis question by dropping the fixed interaction architecture among agents as input to the problem. Instead, our synthesis engine tries to realise the goal given the initial specifications; otherwise it automatically introduces minimal interactions among agents to ensure distribution. Thus, teamwork synthesis mitigates a key difficulty in deciding algorithmically how agents should interact so that each obtains the required information to fulfil its goal. We show how to apply teamwork synthesis to provide a distributed solution.
