Abstract:
Interaction is one of the core challenges in multiagent systems. It enables agents to share their knowledge, to do competitive or cooperative planning, coordination or bargaining, to interact with their principals, and to simple act. Interaction has to be restrictive enough to enable reliable system behaviour and should be permissive enough to allow for flexibility or emergent behaviour and performant. Obviously, the design of interaction differs from interface design in conventional software engineering significantly. Agents may also be designed for use in changing, resp. unknown environments.
