TLDR
A principled model for the design of the ACL of a particular MAS is developed, which account for both, reusability and expressiveness, and is illustrated by an example in the domain of online stock brokering.Abstract:
Modern ACLs, such as FIPA ACL, provide standardised catalogues of performatives denoting types of communicative actions, and interaction protocols. They have been designed as general purpose languages to ensure interoperability among agent systems. However, recent work reports a needfor new ad-hoc sets of performatives in certain contexts, showing that FIPA ACL does not support adequately all relevant types of interactions. In this paper we first present a formal model that relates performatives, andother ACL-related concepts, to the organisation of MAS. Then, a principledmetho dfor the design of the ACL of a particular MAS is developed, which account for both, reusability and expressiveness. Finally, we illustrate our approach by an example in the domain of online stock brokering.read more

The Gaia Methodology for Agent-Oriented Analysis and Design
TL;DR: The Gaia methodology is both general, in that it is applicable to a wide range of multi-agent systems, and comprehensive, in the that it deals with both the macro-level and the micro-level aspects of systems.

Foundations of Illocutionary Logic
TL;DR: John Searle presents the first formalised logic of a general theory of speech acts, dealing with such things as the nature of an illocutionary force, the logical form of its components, and the conditions of success of elementary illocutions.

A meta-model for the analysis and design of organizations in multi-agent systems
Jacques Ferber,Olivier Gutknecht +1 more
TL;DR: A meta-model of artificial organization by which one can build multi-agent systems with different forms of organizations such as market-like and hierarchical organizations is presented, which allows for agent heterogeneity in languages, applications and architectures.

Extending object-oriented systems with roles
TL;DR: This article shows how class-based object-oriented systems can be extended to handle evolving objects well, and complemented by role hierarchies, whose nodes represent role types an object classified in the root may take on.
