In this paper, we examine the composition of firstclass protocols for multi-agent systems. First-class protocols are protocols that exist as executable specifications that agent...
We introduce in this paper an agent model based on coherence theory. We give a formalization of Thagard’s theory on coherence and use it to explain the reasoning process of an in...
