An Architectural Framework for Integrated Multiagent Planning, Reacting, and Learning

Abstract. Dyna is a single-agent architectural framework that integrates learning, planning, and reacting. Well known instantiations of Dyna are Dyna-AC and Dyna-Q. Here a multiagent extension of Dyna-Q is presented. This extension, called M-Dyna-Q, constitutes a novel coordination framework that bridges the gap between plan-based and reactive coordination in multiagent systems. The paper summarizes the key features of Dyna, describes M-Dyna-Q in detail, provides experimental results, and carefully discusses the benefits and limitations of this framework.
