This paper proposes a formal framework which offers an external representation of conversations between conversational agents. Using this formalism allows us: (1) to represent the ...
Recently mobile agent technology has been recognised as a potential tool for realising distributed network fault management. The autonomy and mobility of such agents can help ensu...
In a simple cooperative MAS model where a collection of "querying agents" can send queries to a collection of "information agents", we formalize the problem of ...
RVRL (Rule Value Reinforcement Learning) is a new algorithm which extends an existing learning framework that models the environment of a situated agent using a probabilistic rule...
In this paper, we show how to establish correctness and time bounds (e.g., quality of service guarantees) for multi-agent systems composed of communicating rule-based agents. The f...
