Agents in an open system interact with each other based on (typically, published) protocols. An agent may, however, deviate from the protocol because of its internal policies. Such...
This paper discusses the problem of efficient propagation of uncertain information in dynamic environments and critical situations. When a number of (distributed) agents have only ...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a foundational ontology of the social concepts of organization and role which structure institutions. We identify which axioms model social conce...
The AgentSpeak agent-oriented programming language has recently been extended with various new features, such as speech-act based communication, internal belief additions, and supp...

We outline elements of the Abstract Contract Calculator, a prototype language implemented in Haskell (a declarative programming language) in which we simulate agents executing abst...
Abstract. This paper presents two approaches for generating and executing the plans of cognitive agents. They can be used to define the semantics of programming languages for cogni...
Goals are used to define the behavior of (pro-active) agents. It is our view that the goals of an agent can be seen as a knowledge base of the situations that it wants to achieve. ...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a collaborative framework to realize a Virtual Enterprise (VE) for the domain of Micro Assembly. The framework is developed using 3APL technolog...
Abstract. This paper is concerned with the problem of obtaining predictable interactions between groups of agents in open environments when individual agents do not expose their bd...
