Meta-reasoning for Agents' Private Knowledge Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent’s meta-reasoning is a computational process that implements agent’s capability to reason on a higher level about another agent or a community of agents. There is a potential for meta-reasoning in multi-agent systems. Meta-reasoning can be used for reconstructing agents’ private knowledge, their mental states and for prediction of their future courses of action. Meta-agents should have the capability to reason about incomplete or imprecise information. Unlike the ordinary agents, the meta-agent may contemplate about the community of agents as a whole. This contribution presents application of the meta-reasoning process for the agent’s private knowledge detection within the multi-agent system for planning of humanitarian relief operations.

Managing Conflicts in Reflective Agents
This chapter addresses management of conflicts in an agent by means of reflective reasoning. A structure for reflective agents is proposed within which reasoning about observation, assumption making and communication; an agent's own information state and reasoning processes; other agents' information states and reasoning processes, and combinations of these types of reflective reasoning are exp...

In this paper a compositional model for reflective agents is proposed within which reasoning about observation, assumption making and communication; an agent’s own information state and reasoning processes; other agents’ information states and reasoning processes, and combinations of these types of reflective reasoning are explicitly modelled. The types of knowledge needed to detect, analyse an...
متن کامل1 Modal and Meta Languages : Consistency andExpressivenessLuigia
In knowledge representation several formalisms for reasoning about knowledge in a multi agent scenario have been proposed. More speciically, we can identify a family of languages based on the use of a modal operator and another one based on the use of rst-order logic enriched with meta-level capabilities. In this paper we consider these two approaches by addressing the issues of consistency tha...
متن کاملModelling of Agents' Behavior with Semi-collaborative Meta-agents
An autonomous agent may largely benefit from its ability to reconstruct another agent’s reasoning principles from records of past events and general knowledge about the world. In our approach, the meta-agent maintains a first-order logic theory, called the community model, yielding predictions about other agents’ decisions. In this contribution we introduce a query-based collective reasoning pr...
متن کاملMeta-reasoning Methods for Agent's Intention Modelling
Intention modelling in self-interested and adversarial communities of agents is a challenging issue. This contribution discusses the role of modelling and meta-reasoning in intention modelling. The formal model of deductive and inductive meta-reasoning is presented and supported by experimental implementations. This research has been motivated by the problem of intention detection in semi-colla...
