Communication is the key feature of Multi-agent Systems. The interactions among components of a system may take many distinct forms of increasing complexity such as in auctions, n...
: A growing demand for distributed and decentralized software, together with an increasing inherent complexity of these systems challenges traditional software engineering practice...
In this paper we describe MASQ (Multi-Agent Systems based on Quadrants), a model that defines four perspectives over an agent-based interaction according to two axes: internal/ex...
People can interact much more readily with a multi-agent system if they can understand it in cognitive terms. Modern work on “BDI agents” emphasizes explicit representation of ...
We introduce and motivate a non-standard multi-modal logic to represent and reason about ignorance in Multi-Agent Systems. We argue that in Multi-agent systems being able to reaso...
