More formally, let
Agt
=
{
Ag
1
,.., Ag
n
}
a set of
agents
; we can associate to each agent
Ag
i
∈
Agt
:
a set of
goals G
i
=
{
g
i1
,..,g
iq
}
;
a set of
actions Az
i
=
{
α
i1
,..,
α
iz
}
; these are the elementary actions that
Ag
i
is able to perform;
a set of
plans
=
{
p
i1
,..,p
is
}
;
Ag
i
's plan library: the set of rules/prescriptions for aggregating
the actions; and
a set of
resources R
i
=
{
r
i1
,..,r
im
}
.
Each goal needs a set of actions/plans/resources.
Then, we can define the
dependence relationship
between two agents (
Ag
j
and
Ag
i
) with
respect to a goal
g
jk
,as
Obj-Dependence (Ag
j
,Ag
i
,g
jk
)
and say that:
An agent Ag
j
has an
Objective Dependence Relationship with agent Ag
i
with respect to a goal g
jk
if there are
