Multi-Agent Systems and Negotiation

In this paper, we present an intelligent personal assistant, called Uhura, that handles requests involving multiple, interrelated goals and activities by efficiently producing a coherent plan. Uhura achieves this by integrating a collaborative dialog manager, a conflict-directed planner with spatial and temporal reasoning capabilities, and a large-scale knowledge graph. We also present a user survey that assesses the usefulness of the plans produced by Uhura in urban travel planning.
