Interactive Execution Monitoring of Agent Teams

Abstract: There is an increasing need for automated support for humans monitoring the activity of distributed teams of cooperating agents, both human and machine. We characterize the domain-independent challenges posed by this problem, and describe how properties of domains influence the challenges and their solutions. We will concentrate on dynamic, data-rich domains where humans are ultimately responsible for team behavior. Thus, the automated aid should interactively support effective and timely decision making by th… Show more

“…First, in this work the agent has information needed by the person rather than the reverse, and there is thus no need to deal with uncertainty about the information (i.e., to consider a range of different possibilities). Second, their primary concern is when to interrupt users to provide help or information [19,22,60,28]. These efforts focus almost entirely on modeling the user's attentional state, with the goal of intelligently choosing the best time to interrupt (minimize the resulting interference) [17,19] and the ensuing frustration they cause [22].…”

“…We have used this framework to implement Execution Assistants (EAs) in three different dynamic, data-rich, real-world domains to assist a human in monitoring team behavior (Wilkins et al, 2003). One domain (Army smallunit operations) has hundreds of mobile, geographically distributed agents, a combination of humans, robots, and vehicles.…”
