Abstract. This paper explores the use of temporal logics in the context of communication protocols for multiagent systems. We concentrate on frameworks where protocols are used to ...
—Open multiagent systems consist of autonomous agents that are built by different vendors. In principle, open multiagent systems cannot provide any guarantees about the behaviors...
Conventional approaches to the modeling of autonomous agents and agent communication rely heavily on the ascription of mental properties like beliefs and intentions to the individ...

Multi-agent systems where the agents are developed by parties with competing interests, and where there is no access to an agent's internal state, are often classified as `ope...
This paper presents a class of multi-agent systems where the state of each agent is driven by its own local protocol, and by exogenous time-varying input signal. These inputs may r...
