Titre / Title: Un modèle de coordination d'actions pour agents mobiles
Abstract : This paper tackles the problem of coordination among mobile agents under the interaction point of view. The coordination model proposed is based on the symmetrical forces field method. We highlight first that, in certain configurations the avoidance action cannot be obtained from the combination of attractive and repulsive forces. The third force missing force ‹ called sliding ‹ is determined. Then, the concept of symmetrical (attractive, repulsive and sliding) forces which defines the coordination of (convergence, flee and avoidance) action is proposed. Finally, two examples of coordination are proposed. The first one which is typical of under constrained environments ‹ such as the air traffic ‹ is reactive and decentralized. The second one, specific of constrained robotics environments, is decentralized, however it requires communication.
