Cooperative Agent Architecture based on the Language-Action Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the architecture and implementation of Cooperative Information Agents (CIA) is described. Taking a language-action perspective to the design of CIAs allows for the specification of obligations and authorizations, and results in the separation of tasks (things the agent must do) and contracts (mutually agreed commitments to the course of communication). The architecture describes the functional components of a CIA: task manager (responsible for managing the agenda), contract manager (managing and negotiating contracts), communication manager (responsible for all external communication), and service execution manager (managing the execution of actions). The prototype agents show how a formal logical theory for communicating agents can be used as a sound basis for an actual implementation.

متن کاملAn Activity Theory Perspective on the Role of Cooperative Assessment in the Reading Comprehension of Iranian EFL Learners
Reading comprehension has recently been reconceptualized in EFL reading instruction to foreground the importance of putting a social perspective on learning. Developed as a crucial aspect of Vygotskian sociocultural theory, activity theory views reading as a socially-mediated activity, for which the prerequisite cognitive processes are distributed among teacher, individual reader, other student...
متن کاملCooperative Cognitive Agents and Reinforcement Learning in Pursuit Game
This paper illustrates how a self-organizing cognitive architecture, known as TD-FALCON, can learn to function and cooperate in a dynamic environment. TD-FALCON learns the value functions of the stateaction space estimated through a temporal difference (TD) method. The learned value functions are then used to determine the optimal actions based on an action selection policy. To tackle a multi-a...
متن کاملUsing Cooperative Learning to Boost Creativity and Motivation in Language Learning
This study sought to investigate the effect of cooperative learning on EFL learners’ creativity and motiva- tion. Accordingly, 66 pre-intermediate female learners were selected among 90 through their performance on a piloted sample Preliminary English Test. Learners were assigned into two control and experimental group. The Abedi-Schumaker Creativity Test (ACT) and the Attitude/Motivation Test ...
متن کاملExploring Semantic Web technologies for ontology-based modeling in collaborative engineering design
This paper describes a preliminary attempt at using the Semantic Web paradigm, particularly the Web Ontology Language (OWL), for domain-specific engineering design knowledge representation in a multi-agent distributed design environment. Ontology-based modeling to the engineering design knowledge on the Semantic Web is proposed as a prelude to the meaningful agent communication and knowledge re...
