Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0129663A1] Methods and systems are proposed for coordinating tasks carried out by operatives. An operational support system (1) defines requirements for work to be carried out by operatives. The operatives receive instructions via an intermediary coordinator (3). The operatives are provided with a software agent (5), which empowers them to make requests. The intermediary (3) reconciles the work requirements with the requests. The method and systems use agent-based negotiation strategies and allow workers and team managers to control the system in a visual interactive fashion. The system can be used to enable workers to set work preferences, trade jobs, share knowledge as well as build informal alliances to help each other with their work. Managers are able to review and control local business rules and scheduling preferences using their own software agent (7).
