Communication is essential in multi-agent systems, since it allows agents to share knowledge and to coordinate. However, in open multi-agent systems, autonomous and heterogeneous a...
We present a software system for evaluating ‘dynamic’ protocol specifications for open multi-agent systems, that is, specifications that are developed at design-time but may...
This paper proposes an operational semantics for BDI modules that can be incorporated in multi-agent programming languages. The introduced concept of modules facilitates the implem...
The concept of a social norm is used in multi-agent systems to specify behaviours required of agents interacting in a given social context. We describe a method for specifying soci...
In this paper we propose interaction-driven Markov games (IDMGs), a new model for multiagent decision making under uncertainty. IDMGs aim at describing multiagent decision problem...
