Example text

1 Awareness is a Vital Ingredient of Teamwork For teamwork to succeed, its participants need to establish a common view on the environment. This can be built by observation of both the environment and other agents operating in it, by communication, and by reasoning. These three important processes pertain to agents’ awareness. Awareness is understood here as a limited form of consciousness. In the minimal form, it refers to an agent’s beliefs about itself , about others and about the environment, corresponding to the informational stance.

Thus intentions create a screen of admissibility for the agent’s further, possibly longterm, deliberation. However, from time to time intentions should be reconsidered, due to the dynamics of the situation. For example they are achieved already, they will never be achieved or reasons originally supporting them hold no longer. This requires balancing pro-active, (that is goal-directed) and reactive (that is event-driven) behavior. Indeed, in this book we carefully maintain this balance on the three levels of teamwork: individual, social and collective.

In addition to A1 and R1, here follow the axioms and rule for knowledge: A2K A3K A4K A5K R2K KNOW(i, ϕ) ∧ KNOW(i, ϕ → ψ) → KNOW(i, ψ) (Knowledge Distribution) KNOW(i, ϕ) → ϕ (Veracity of Knowledge) KNOW(i, ϕ) → KNOW(i, KNOW(i, ϕ)) (Positive Introspection) ¬KNOW(i, ϕ) → KNOW(i, ¬KNOW(i, ϕ)) (Negative Introspection) From ϕ infer KNOW(i, ϕ) (Knowledge Generalization) Here, the names of the axioms have historical origins in modal logic, similarly to those for beliefs, thus the axiom system could have been called KT45n in analogy to KD45n .
