In this paper, we propose a framework for modelling agent organizations, OMNI, that allows the balance of global organizational requirements with the autonomy of individual agents...
Auctions and exchanges are important coordination mechanisms for multiagent systems. Most multi-good markets are combinatorial in that the agents have preferences over bundles of ...
A negotiating agent engages in multi-issue bilateral negotiation in a dynamic information-rich environment. The agent strives to make informed decisions. The agent may assume that...
paper we present an abstract agent programming language and its operational semantics which can be used to implement cognitive agents. This language consists of programming constr...
Most research about multi-agent coordination is concentrated at a high level, e.g., developing coordination interaction protocols to be imposed on agents. There has been less conc...
We have developed a set of tools to allow the use of model-checking techniques for the verification of systems directly implemented in an agent-oriented programming language. The ...

As planning agents grow more sophisticated, issues of plan representation arise alongside concerns with plan generation. Planning methods work over increasingly large and difficul...
Formal dialectic systems have been suggested as a means to model inter-agent communication in multi-agent systems. The formal dialectic systems of Hamblin are practical models for ...
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...
