Towards Intelligent Decision Support in Human Team Planning

Inherent human limitations in teaming environments coupled with complex planning problems spur the integration of intelligent decision support (IDS) systems for human-agent planning. However, prior research in human-agent planning has been limited to dyadic interaction between a single human and a single planning agent. In this paper, we highlight an emerging research area of IDS for human team planning, i.e. environments where the agent works with a team of human planners to enhance the quality of their plans and the ease of making them. We review prior works in human-agent planning and identify research challenges for an agent participating in human team planning.
