A key-based coordination algorithm for dynamic readiness and repair service coordination

This paper describes an agent application for the coordination of air-craft repair, refit, refuel, and rearm teams in a dynamic setting. The paper also presents a new algorithm for dynamic distributed service team coordination and compares its performance to an optimal cen-tralized service team scheduler.
