: Software agents comprise a new area for research and soon will be embedded and ubiquitous in modern computing systems. In this formative phase, it is important to develop compreh...
Process algebraic specifications can provide useful support for the architectural design of software systems due to the possibility of analyzing their properties. In addition to th...
This paper presents a system which automatically generates shallow semantic frame structures for conversational speech in unrestricted domains. We argue that such shallow semantic...
The need for negotiation in multi-agent systems stems from the requirement for agents to solve the problems posed by their interdependence upon one another. Negotiation provides a...
