講演内容（Abstract)
Agents in a shared environment typically need to coordinate their decisions to avoid taking actions that separately make sense but which collectively lead to conflicts or counterproductive activities. While many strategies for coordinating decisions and negotiating over alternative interactions have been studied, they predominantly assume that agents already know what issues need to be coordinated, or which agents need to coordinate, or both. However, in some environments, an agent might not know about who the other agents in the environment are, much less about which of their activities need to be coordinated with its own. In this talk, I will describe some of the strategies we have been investigating that allow agents to efficiently identify others that they should interact with, and to make commitments to each other that prevent conflicts while still giving individuals some flexibility for dealing with dynamic changes to the environment.

Edmund H. Durfee received the MS degree in electrical and computer
engineering and the PhD degree in computer and information science
from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Mass., in 1984 and
1987, respectively. His PhD research developed an approach for
planning coordinated actions and interactions in a network of
distributed AI problem-solving systems. He is currently a Professor in
the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the
University of Michigan, where his interests are in distributed
artificial intelligence, planning, and real-time problem solving. He
has published extensively in these areas, and is author of the book
Coordination of Distributed Problem Solvers (Kluwer Academic Press).
He is an associate editor for the International Journal on Autonomous
Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, and has served on many conference and
workshop program committees, including being a program co-chair for
the 1998 International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (ICMAS) and
the Conference Chair for the 2000 ICMAS.
