Resource management

In the previous scenario, resource management came up as a problem involving interdependent actions. In the current scenario, agents can also coordinate schedules. Decker's Generalized Partial Global Planning (GPGP) allows several heterogeneous agents to post constraints to each other's local schedulers and thus coordinate without the aid of any centralized agent [65].
