An Empirical Model of Communication in Multiagent Systems

چکیده
This paper proposes a new model of communication in multiagent systems according to which the semantics of communication depends on their pragmatics. Since these pragmatics are seen to result from the consequences of communicative actions as these have been empirically observed by a particular agent in the past, the model is radically empirical, consequentialist and constructivist. A formal framework for analysing such evolving semantics is defined, and we present an extensive analysis of several properties of different interaction processes based on our model. Among the main advantages of this model over traditional ACL semantics frameworks is that it allows agents to reason about the effects of their communicative behaviour on the structure of communicative expectations as a whole when making strategic decisions. Also, it leads to a very interesting domain-independent and non-mentalistic

متن کاملAn empirical semantics approach to reasoning about communication
In the process of designing multiagent systems, it is often the case that some kind of specification of communication rules (in the form of protocols, ACL semantics, etc.) is available. and The question naturally arises how appropriate agents can be designed to can operate on such a specification. Moreover, if these multiagent systems are viewed as open systems, the problem is complicated even ...
متن کاملCommunication Systems: A Unified Model of Socially Intelligent Systems
This paper introduces communication systems (CS) as a unified model for socially intelligent systems. This model derived from sociological systems theory, combines the empirical analysis of communication in a social system with logical processing of social information to provide a general framework for computational components that exploit communication processes in multiagent systems. We prese...

متن کاملSolving the flexible job shop problem by hybrid metaheuristics-based multiagent model
The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem that allows to process operations on one machine out of a set of alternative machines. The FJSP is an NP-hard problem consisting of two sub-problems, which are the assignment and the scheduling problems. In this paper, we propose how to solve the FJSP by hybrid metaheuristics-based c...
