Rational Teams: Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a possible extension to the logical framework KARO to make it able to handle multiple agents. The KARO framework, which was initially developed by van der Hoek, van Linder and Meyer, makes use of epistemic and dynamic logics to express rational agents. These agents are capable of reasoning about their own actions and, somewhat limited, about the actions of other agents. This paper intends to extend the KARO system such that one is also able to reason about cooperation between agents.

Programming Groups of Rational Agents
In this paper, we consider the problem of effectively programming groups of agents. These groups should capture structuring mechanisms common in multi-agent systems, such as teams, cooperative groups, and organisations. Not only should individual agents be dynamic and evolving, but the groups in which the agents occur must be open, flexible and capable of similar evolution and restructuring. We...
متن کاملModelling Rational Agents in Multi-Agent Systems
This extended abstract gives an overview about my current and future research as well as a summary of my PhD thesis. The thesis is about rational agents in multi-agent systems where the main focus is on formal methods that allow for modelling and reasoning about such systems and its comprised agents. Several aspects of rational agency are treated, for instance, rational agents’ behaviors, coali...
متن کاملA Logical Theory of Static Reasoning for Rational Agents
A formal language to describe mental states of rational agents is useful to specify the behavior of artiicial agents that are supposed to act intelligently and to help human beings in evaluating their reasoning about the external environment. This paper presents a multi-agent, propositional, temporal logic to describe the mental state of rational agents. The formal properties of beliefs and int...
متن کاملFalse information and the emergence of conflict
Humans are not perfectly rational. In addition to considering rational arguments for performing certain actions, they also are influenced by, e.g., social considerations. In previous work, we computationally modelled the beneficial effects of this phenomenon, for use in multi-agent systems. Here, we explore disadvantageous effects of being only partially rational. More precisely, we aim to mode...
متن کاملPolicy Management for Virtual Communities of Agents
In this paper we study the rational balance between local and global policies in virtual communities of agents. To study this problem we use a logical framework for modelling obligations and permissions in multiagent systems. In particular, the logical framework allows agents to trade off the decision of respecting a norm against the consequences of not respecting it: the possibility that they ...
