Abstract
This paper defines a coordination process allowing hierarchical agents equipped with multiple methods to treat efficiently arriving tasks. The aim is to find an optimal (i.e. maximizing the utility of the result) combination of methods within the time window specified by the task. Agents are resource-limited and operate under time constraints. Agents (with their chosen methods) are used in sequential levels to progressively improve the quality of a task response
