Investigating Interactions between Agent Conversations and Agent Control Components

Abstract. Exploring agent conversation in the context of fine-grained agent coordination research has raised several intellectual questions. The major issues pertain to interactions between different agent conversations, the representations chosen for different classes of conversations, the explicit modeling of interactions between the conversations, and how to address these interactions. This paper is not so ambitious as to attempt to address these questions, only frame them in the context of quantified, scheduling-centric multi-agent coordination research.
