## Abstract

Distributed Artificial Intelligence is concerned with problem solving in which group s so lve ta sk s. In this paper we desc ribe strategies of coo peration that groups require to solve s hared tasks effectively. We disc uss suc h s tr a tegi es in the context of a specific gro up problem solvin g app li cation: collision avo idan ce in a ir tr a ffi c cont rol. Ex pe rim e nt al findings with four dis tinct air-traffic co ntr ol syste m s, eac h impl eme nting a diffe rent cooperative st rat e gy , arementioned .
