Abstract
Proactivity is the ability to take initiative by exhibiting goal-directed behavior. Agents with proactivity can respond to dynamic environment in a timely way. Hence the ability to anticipate the information needs of teammates and assist them proactively is highly desirable. This research is directed toward helping agents produce effective communication through observations. We show how agents can use observation to estimate the teammates' beliefs and proactively provide the information that the teammates need. We present two experiments that explore: 1) effectiveness of different aspects of observability; 2) scalability of using observability with respect to the number of agents in a team.

IAT '06: Proceedings of the IEEE/WIC/ACM international conference on Intelligent Agent TechnologyThis paper investigates effective human team cooperation and incorporated the findings into multi-agent teamwork. We describe how to give agents the same cooperative capabilities, observability and proactivity, that humans use. We show how agents can ...
