To achieve this goal, we combine multi-agent negotiation with efficient fuzzy and flexible linear programming techniques from operation research field. Alternating rounds of global optimization and restricted negotiation split the task into sub-tasks, create teams, assign them to the tasks and provide a task-resource mapping. Resulting plan execution can be easily verified and verification results can be used to update the trust and social models and potentially to perform re-planning immediately","PeriodicalId":318812,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Distributed Intelligent Systems: Collective Intelligence and Its Applications (DIS'06)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129895231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that organizational structures should be seen along at least three dimensions, instead of just one: integrality, power and information. The main aim of the research is to provide a formal analysis of the individual responsibilities. We show how the three dimensions of an organizational structure determine the responsibilities within a Tayloristic and a socio-technical organization","PeriodicalId":318812,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Distributed Intelligent Systems: Collective Intelligence and Its Applications (DIS'06)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130594473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observed behavior of the teacher may constitute a combination (or superposition) of the robot's individual primitives. Once a task is demonstrated, our method learns a fusion (superposition) of primitives (as a vector of weights) applicable to situations encountered by the robot for performing the same task. Our method allows a robot to infer essential aspects of the demonstrated tasks without specifically tailored primitive behaviors. We validate our approach in a simulated environment with a Pioneer 3DX mobile robot. We demonstrate the advantages of our learning approach through comparison with manually coded controllers and sequential learning","PeriodicalId":318812,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Distributed Intelligent Systems: Collective Intelligence and Its Applications (DIS'06)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125849967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
