Abstract
This paper presents a role-based agent teamworklanguage called RoB-MALLET (Role-Based Multi-AgentLogic Language for Encoding Teamwork). Roles have beenused to form multi-agent theories and guide the constructionof multi-agent architectures and systems. Different from themost existing agent teamwork models that emphasizepractical reasoning based on beliefs, desires and intentions(BDI), a role-based teamwork language stresses the conceptof organization and thereby cooperation. RoB-MALLET isable to handle unexpected uncertainties and allow for theconceptual specification of teamwork knowledge for reuse.Finally, we present several experiments that explore planreusability of RoB-MALLET, show that it is flexible insupporting simultaneity of invocation and evaluate itsefficiency in supporting teamwork.
