Modelling Social Agents: Communication as Action
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a formal framework for social agents. The social agents consist of four components: the information component (containing knowledge and belief), the action component, the motivational component (where goals, intentions, etc. play arole) and the social component (containing aspects of speech acts and relations between agents). The main aim of this work was to describe all components in a uniform way, such that it is possible to verify each component separately but also formally describe the interactions between the different components. E.g. the effect of a speech act on the believes of an agent or on the commitment to a goal it pursues.

We propos...

The learning and communication is implemented using an evolutionary process acting upon a population of mental models inside each agent. The evolutionary process is based on a Genetic Programming algorithm. Each gene is composed of two tree-structures: one to control its action and one to determine it...

متن کاملA Common Ontology of Agent Communication Languages: Modelling Mental Attitudes and Social Commitments using Roles
There are two main traditions in defining a semantics for agent communication languages, based either on mental attitudes or on social commitments. These traditions, even if they share the idea of speech acts as operators with preconditions and effects, and agents playing roles like speaker and hearer, rely on completely distinct ontologies. Not only does the mental attitudes approach refer to ...
