Process algebra and constraint programming for modeling interactions in MAS
We show how techniques from the realm of concurrent computation can be adapted for modeling the interactions of agents in multi-agent systems. In particular, we introduce a general process-algebraic approach t...

A Verification Framework for Agent Communication
In this paper, we introduce a verification method for the correctness of multiagent systems as described in the framework of ACPL (Agent Communication Programming Language). The computational model of ACPL con...
