Title: The Struggle for Reuse: Pros and Cons of Generalization in Taems and its Impact on Technology Transition
Abstract: Taems agents integrate planning, scheduling, and coordination components in a reusable agent construction framework. Taems agent components have been used in over a dozen research projects and continue to provide an increasingly re- fined foundation for rapid construction of multiagent control systems for research and commercial prototype applications. This paper recounts a set of generalization issues that we have encountered in striving to build generic multiagent control components, and how these issues effect the use of Taems technology both in research and commercial applications.
