Abstract
A multiagent plan is a plan which has been generated for several executing agents. If there are several autonomous agents each of whom creates multiagent plans which are executed in a common environment then there exist multiagent plan relationships. In this paper, a classification of the possible relationships bewteen the agents' plans is established. The taxonomy presented will comprise both harmful (negative) and favorable (positive) relationships. A system which hopes to perform a meaningful coordination of individually created plans has to cover the whole range of interactions that can occur among intelligent agents; the detection of negative relationships is crucial to prevent conflicts and the detection of positive relationships may help to utilize the favorable potential which may exist among different plans.
