Commitments Among Autonomous Agents in Information-Rich Environments
Commitments are crucial to understanding and designing autonomous agents and multiagent systems. We propose a deenition of commitments that applies especially well to agents in information-rich applications, such as electronic commerce and virtual enterprises. Our approach has a number of important features, including { not gratuitously translating social concepts to psychological concepts { di...
متن کاملConstitutive interoperability
Commitments have recently emerged as a valuable abstraction for characterizing interactions among autonomous agents at the level of their business relationships. Traditionally, interoperation is approached from the standpoint of data exchange or of messaging. We use commitments to characterize interoperability in high-level terms: at the level of the communications among agents. Specifically, t...
متن کاملCoco: Runtime Reasoning about Conflicting Commitments
To interact effectively, agents must enter into commitments. What should an agent do when these commitments conflict? We describe Coco, an approach for reasoning about which specific commitments apply to specific parties in light of general types of commitments, specific circumstances, and dominance relations among specific commitments. Coco adapts answer-set programming to identify a maximal s...
متن کاملReasoning about agents and protocols via goals and commitments
This paper seeks to combine two largely independent threads of multiagent systems research—agent specification and protocols. We specify agents in terms of goal models (as used in Tropos). We specify protocols in terms of the commitments among agents. We illustrate and formalize the semantic relationship between agents and protocols by exploiting the relationship between goals and commitments. ...
متن کاملCommitments with regulations: reasoning about safety and control in REGULA
Commitments provide a flexible means for specifying the business relationships among autonomous and heterogeneous agents, and lead to a natural way of enacting such relationships. However, current formalizations of commitments incorporate conditions expressed as propositions, but disregard (1) temporal regulations and (2) an agent’s control over such regulations. Thus, they cannot handle realis...
متن کاملAgreement, Disputes and Commitments in Dialogue
This paper provides a logically precise analysis of agreement and disputes in dialogue. The semantics distinguishes among the public commitments of each dialogue agent, including commitments to relational speech acts or rhetorical relations (e.g., Narration, Explanation, Correction). Agreement is defined to be the shared entailments of the agents’ public commitments. We show that this makes pre...
