Agent-based dialogues to support plan execution by human teams

Proceedings of the Second Annual Conference of the International Technology Alliance

Abstract:

Analysis of communications in human teams suggests that an important form of communication between team members is an ``information providing'' dialogue, in which team members update their fellows with information that they regard as important in the task at hand. In this paper we introduce and analyse a formal model of such a form of dialogue, seeing this as a necessary first step in providing software support for this kind of communication.

Human-agent team, plan execution, information providing.
