This paper reports the results of a multi-agent simulation designed to study the emergence and evolution of symbolic communication. The novelty of this model is that it considers s...
The paper surveys some of the mechanisms that have been demonstrated to be relevant for evolving communication systems in software simulations or robotic experiments. In each case,...
In this paper, we extend the classical BDI architecture for the treatment of social commitments based communication by: (1) linking social commitments and individual intentions, (2...
— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
Work on agent communication languages has since long striven to achieve adequate speech act semantics; partly, the problem is that references to an agent’s architecture (in parti...
