In this project we propose an alternative way to merge plans formed by sequences of actions of unknown similarities between goals and actions executed by several operator agents which cooperate between them applying such actions over some passive elements (node agents) that require additional executions of another plan after some time of use. Such ignorance of the similarities between plan actions and goals would justify the use of a distributed recommendation system that would provide an useful plan to be applied for a certain goal to a given operator agent, generated from the known results of previous executions of different plans by other operator agents. Both types of agents, node and operator agents, are implemented in JADEX \cite{braubach+04jadex}, a JAVA-based academic agent platform that complies with IEEE-FIPA Agent Communication standard \cite{fipa}, and that facilitates the implementation of a BDI deliberative approach of agent reasoning.
