Abstract
By moving from a suggestive example, the paper analyzes how information flows among agents involved in a deliberation. By deliberating, agents become aware of details, draw the attention of the group to some issues, perform inferences and announce what they know. The proposed framework—which builds on the paradigm of dynamic logic—captures how, during a deliberation, information results from step-wise multi-agent interaction.
