    Goals in conflict: semantic foundations of goals in agent programming

    This paper addresses the notion of (declarative) goals as used in agent programming. Goals describe desirable states, and semantics of these goals in an agent programming context can be defined in various ways...

    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...
