Epistemic planning can be used for decision making in multi-agent situations
with distributed knowledge and capabilities. Recently, Dynamic Epistemic Logic
(DEL) has been shown to provide a very natural and expressive framework for
epistemic planning. We extend the DEL-based epistemic planning framework to
include perspective shifts, allowing us to define new notions of sequential and
conditional planning with implicit coordination. With these, it is possible to
solve planning tasks with joint goals in a decentralized manner without the
agents having to negotiate about and commit to a joint policy at plan time.
First we define the central planning notions and sketch the implementation of a
planning system built on those notions. Afterwards we provide some case studies
in order to evaluate the planner empirically and to show that the concept is
useful for multi-agent systems in practice.Comment: In Proceedings M4M9 2017, arXiv:1703.0173
