This paper proposes programming constructs to improve the practical application of existing BDI-based agent-oriented programming languages that have formal semantics. The proposed...
Abstract. This paper contributes to a line of research that aims to apply agent-oriented techniques in the field of service-oriented computing. In particular, we propose to use go...
We describe our preliminary work in modeling conversation specifications and policies as positive/negative permissions and obligations. Our model is generic as it is independent o...
We present a proof-technique for reducing the nondeterminbstract agent specifications in a BDI framework by means of refinement. We implement the operational semantics of agent sp...
Artificial agents trying to achieve communicative goals in situated interactions in the real-world need powerful computational systems for conceptualizing their environment. In ord...
