ab: Summary: We present an approach to plan representation in multi-actor
    scenarios that is suitable for flexible replanning and plan revision
    purposes in dynamic non-deterministic multi-actor environments. The key
    idea of the presented approach is in representation of the distributed
    hierarchical plan by social commitments, as a theoretically studied
    formalism representing mutual relations among intentions of
    collaborating agents. The article presents a formal model of a
    recursive form of commitments and discusses how it can be deployed to a
    selected hierarchical planning scenario. The decommitment rules
    definition and their influence on the plan execution robustness and
    stability is also presented. The approach was verified and evaluated in
    a simulated environment. The experimental validation confirms the
    performance, stability, and robustness of the system in complex
    scenarios.
