Sharp transition towards shared vocabularies in multi-agent systems

What processes can explain how very large populations are able to converge on the use of a particular word or grammatical construction without global coordination? Answering this question helps to understand why new language constructs usually propagate along an S-shaped curve with a rather sudden transition towards global agreement. It also helps to analyze and design new technologies that sup...

Constructing Translations Between Individual Vocabularies in Multi-Agent Systems

In multi-agent systems, diierent agents usually employ different languages to express their informational and motivational attitudes. During communication processes, the agents should therefore employ some translation mechanism in order to understand the information provided by the other agents. In this paper, we develop a logical framework based on a possible world semantics to model the infor...

Developing Shared Ontologies in Multi-agent Systems

Effective communication of knowledge between agents needs to be based on a common understanding of the terms contained in messages. A shared ontology forms the basis for specifying the meaning of terms used by communicating agents. The construction of a shared ontology must therefore form one of the main stages in the development of a multi-agent system. In this paper, we suggest that the desig...
