Abstract

Formal specifications of protocol-oriented agent interactions have

focused mainly on the semantics of the constituent agent

communication language (ACL).

We argue that a proper theoretical treatment of conversations cannot be simply derived compositionally from the semantics of individual CAs. Accordingly, we develop a theory of joint conversations that is independent of its constituent CAs.

We treat the process of a group following an interaction protocol as a persistent joint communicative action (JCA) by the group.

We define compliance in a joint conversation and we prove salient properties of joint conversations.

Keywordsagent, belief, joint communicative action, protocol
