A Synergy of Agent Components: Social Comparison for Failure Detection
of other components. This abstract presents an implemented illustration of such explicit component synergy and its usefulness in dynamic multi-agent environments. In such environments, agents often have three important abilities: (a) collaboration with other agents (teamwork), (b) monitoring the agent's own progress (execution monitoring), and (c) modeling other agents' beliefs/goals (agent-modeling). Generally, these capabilities are independently developed, and are integrated in a single system such that each component operates independently of the others, e.g., monitoring techniques do not take into account the modeled plans of other agents, etc. In contrast, we highlight a synergy between these three agent components that results in significant improvement in capabilities of each component: (a) The collaboration component constrains the search space for the agentmodeling component via maintenance of mutual beliefs and facilitates better modeling, (b) the modeling and coll...
