In this research, we re-arrange FIPA’s ACL performatives to form a subsumption lattice (ontology) and apply a theory of social commitments to achieve a simplified and observable...
Interactions between agents in an open system such as the Internet require a significant degree of flexibility. A crucial aspect of the development of such methods is the notion o...
A key property of agents is that they are social, and hence the design of agent interactions is a crucial part of an agentoriented software engineering methodology. Agent interact...
Commitment-modeled protocols enable flexible and robust interactions among agents. However, existing work has focused on features and capabilities of protocols without considerin...
