When agents are acting together, they may need a simple mechanism to decide on joint actions. One possibility is to have the agents express their preferences in the form of a ballo...
In this paper, we introduce the notion of communication channel into a multiagent system. We formalize the system in term of logic with Belief modality, where each possible world i...
This paper describes a team of agents that took part in the second CLIMA Contest. The team was implemented in a logic-based language for BDI agents and was run in a Java-based inte...
We present a multi-agent formalism based on extended answer set programming. The system consists of independent agents connected via a communication channel, where knowledge and be...

Abstract. The paradigm of argumentation has been used in the literature to assign meaning to knowledge bases in general, and logic programs in particular. With this paradigm, rules...
This paper reports on a fertile marriage between madAgents, a Java and Prolog based multi-agent platform, and EVOLP, a logic programming based language to represent and reason abou...
If we are to take the notion of speech act seriously, we must be able to treat speech acts as acts. In what follows, I will try to model changes brought about by various acts of co...
It is recognised that institutions are potentially powerful means for making agent interactions effective and efficient, but institutions will only really be useful when, as in oth...
