Task Allocation and Associated Protocol in E-RTA

Abstract— Agents in E-RTA possess the organizational knowledge that only specifies the list of agents that currently belong to its organization. For joint problem solving agents need to identify team members and do not maintain explicit models of other agents' capabilities. Task allocation protocol’s aim is to formulate an automated method for agents to find a 'suitable' agent who is 'available' to perform collaborative task.

It is necessary to ensure that the activities of agents always remain coordinated and Joint intentions guide problem-solving activity and play a key role in guaranteeing coordination among agents within an organization in complex and dynamic environments. We also assume that agents possess any time solutions to goals. This is done so that an executing goal can be terminated before its normal completion to avoid priority conflicts of requests.

This paper described the task allocation & protocols used for our proposed framework E-RTA. This complete paper described introduction in section 1, task allocation in section 2 in detail. Section 3 deals with temporal conflicts resolution method among intentions. Section 4 describes the results of our experiment and finally conclusion in section 5.
