A protocol specifies the "rules of encounter" governing a dialogue between agents. It specifies which agent is allowed to say what in a given situation.
There are different levels of (an agent's) conformance to a protocol, as follows:
- Weak conformance - iff it will never utter an illegal dialogue move.
- Exhaustive conformance - iff it is weakly conformant and it will utter at least one dialogue move when required by the protocol.
- Robust conformance - iff it is exhaustively conformant and it utters the (special) dialogue more "not-understood" whenever it receives an illegal move from the other agent.
