| Abstract | There are environments where multiple agents can take on different roles, but where any single agent may not have all the required capabilities for a role. We need a way to group agents appropriately such that the combination of their capabilities forms a team which satisfies the role requirements. We extend the Gatekeeper concept not only to interact with agents and decide if any of them can fulfill a role, but also to reason about role dependencies, gather subsequent information, and group agents into teams when needed to satisfy a role. We further extend the team-building abilities by adding a Monitor agent which monitors team member behavior and alerts the Gatekeeper of agent failures which may require member reassignments. Finally, we design abstract protocols for the interactions of Gatekeeper, Monitor, and other agents in any environment. |
