Commitments are a powerful representation for modeling multiagent interactions. Previous approaches have considered the semantics of commitments and how to check compliance with th...
A strength of commitment protocols is that they enable agents to act flexibly, thereby enabling them to accommodate varying local policies and respond to exceptions. A consequent ...
Multiparty agreements often arise in a multiagent system where autonomous agents interact with each other to achieve a global goal. Multiparty agreements are traditionally represe...
Commitment protocols formalize interactions among autonomous, heterogeneous agents, leaving the agents’ local policies unspecified. This paper studies the problem of agents ena...
Interaction protocols are specific, often standard, constraints on the behaviors of autonomous agents in a multiagent system. Protocols are essential to the functioning of open sys...
