Practical issue of alliance formation is considered as a subproblem of more general coalition formation problem in the context of multi-agent systems. The paper describes the process of alliance formation admitting different faulty situations. Coordinators forming the alliance are assigned with the task of diagnosing faulty situations which may occur during an alliance formation process. In practice, there are possible situations when diagnostic results provided by individual coordinators are in contradictions.
