The Cognitive Agent Specification Language (CASL) is a framework for specifying and verifying complex communicating multiagent systems. In this paper, we develop an extended versi...
Abstract. Although several approaches to the semantics of agent communication have been proposed, none of them is really suitable for dealing with agent autonomy, which is a decisi...

This paper describes the use of coherence constraints as a means to regulate agent interaction. Coherence constraints describe relationships between the content of utterances, and ...
Agent communication languages defined using joint intention theory have enjoyed a long research history. A number of performatives have been defined and refined in this literature ...
Abstract. In this paper we propose to regard an Agent Communication Language (ACL) as a set of conventions to act on a fragment of institutional reality, defined in the context of...
Abstract. Message semantics are traditionally defined in terms of mental states, which is a trend that is criticized for assuming the sincerity and cooperativeness of agents. To c...

In this paper, we will consider the alignment of heterogeneous ontologies in multi agent systems. We will start from the idea that each individual agent is specialized in solving ...

In this paper we propose a computational model for human-agent and agent-agent conversation. This model has two fundamental characteristics: (1) it takes into account the implicit ...
