Abstract
Cooperation in multi-agent systems essentially hinges on appropriate communication. This paper shows how to model communication in teamwork within TeamLog, the first multi-modal framework wholly capturing a methodology for working together. Starting from the dialogue theory of Walton and Krabbe, the paper focuses on deliberation, the main type of dialogue during team planning. We provide a schema of deliberation dialogue along with semantics of adequate speech acts, this way filling the gap in logical modeling of communication during planning.
