Postponing commitment to preserve opportunities when dynamically assigning new goals to UAVs

This paper presents our distributed approach to dynamically assign new goals to a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Decisions to assign new goals are not instantaneous and they tend to become obsolete because UAVs move continuously. We use the date of commitment to handle this. This paper introduces how we use a function relating the arrival date to the date of commitment in order to postpone commitment to preserve opportunities. The data of this function are stored in a structure we name commitment vector.
