In this paper we present our results on the exploration of the design space of a declarative framework for automated negotiation by: (1) identifying a minimal yet viable generic negotiation protocol and a declarative way of representing rules and constraints specific to negotiation mechanisms and strategies; (2) identifying the need of a set of basic concepts for describing negotiations that fo...

Jason Stanley and Timothy Williamson’s influential article ‘‘Knowing How’’ argues that knowledge-how is a species of knowledge-that. One objection to their view is that knowledge-how is significantly different than knowledge-that because Gettier cases afflict the latter but not the former. Stanley and Williamson argue that this objection fails. Their response, however, is not adequate. Moreover...

This paper reports on current work at the University of California at Berkeley whose goal is the design and implementation of a relat ively inexpensive, but versa­ t i l e , experimental, computer-controlled robot suitable for use in either a research or educational sett ing. The Berkeley robot, dubbed Jason, is nearing comoletion and hardware tests are now being conducted. Jason is designed so...

When information is shared between agents of unknown reliability, it is possible that their belief bases become inconsistent. In such cases, the belief base must be revised to restore consistency, so that the agent is able to reason. In some cases the inconsistent information may be due to use of incorrect plans. We extend work by Alechina et al. to revise belief bases in which plans can be dyn...
