|
In environment-based coordination scenarios, indirect
forms of interaction have often been considered as an interesting
alternative to direct communication based on speech
acts, yet with no comparable formal study of semantics. In
this paper, we explore this new direction by considering the
case where agents interact with each other through coordination
artifacts — embodied abstractions provided by the
MAS infrastructure to realise a specific coordination task.
Our semantic approach is based on the idea that each agent
interacting with a coordination artifact is assigned operating
instructions for using that artifact, which are used (i)
as a plan for executing the required interaction protocol,
(ii) to support a form of social commitments based on protocols
and timeouts, and (iii) to relate actions and perceptions
to the agent rationality.
