Augmenting Agent Platforms to Facilitate Conversation Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within Multi Agent Systems, communication by means of Agent Communication Languages (ACLs) has a key role to play in the co-operation, co-ordination and knowledge-sharing between agents. Despite this, complex reasoning about agent messaging, and specifically about conversations between agents, tends not to have widespread support amongst general-purpose agent programming languages. ACRE (Agent Communication Reasoning Engine) aims to complement the existing logical reasoning capabilities of agent programming languages with the capability of reasoning about complex interaction protocols in order to facilitate conversations between agents. This paper outlines the aims of the ACRE project and gives details of the functioning of a prototype implementation within the Agent Factory multi agent framework.

Reasoning about Self and Others: Communicating Agents in a Modal Action Logic
We propose an approach to reasoning about conversation protocols within the framework of a logic-based agent language. We show how to embed a theory of communicative actions in the framework of a modal logic of action and beliefs, to specify software agents that, situated in a multi-agent environment, can interact with one another by a speech act based communication mechanism. Agents have their...
متن کاملReasoning about Conversation Protocols in a Logic-Based Agent Language
We present an approach to reasoning about conversations within the framework of a logic-based agent language. Our agent theory is based on a modal logic of actions and beliefs and permits the representation of communicative acts and conversation protocols, allowing agents to reason about them before their execution. The work is framed in a world wide web context, in which we show how reasoning ...

Agent Communication languages were initially developed for exchanging information within multiagent systems composed of software entities. This article falls within the realm of mixed Multi-Agent Systems composed of humans and artificial agents which are embodied for simulating the human behavior. In order to increase the interactional capacity of virtual agents, a multimodal conversation acts ...
متن کاملConversation Quantization for Informal Information Circulation in a Community
In this paper, we present a computational approach to understanding and augmenting the conversational knowledge process that is a collective activity for knowledge creation, management, and application, where conversational communications are used as a primary means of interaction among participating agents. The key idea is conversation quantization, a technique of approximating a continuous fl...
