36, Towards a multi-agent system for regulated information exchange in crime investigations

Notes taken from 'Towrds a multi-agent system for regulated information exchange in crime investigations' (2006), by Pieter Dijkstra, Floris Bex, Henry Prakken, Kees de Vey Mestdagh

1, Introduction

... we define dialogue policies for the individual agents, specifying their behaviour within a negotiation. Essentially, when deciding to accept or reject an offer or to make a counteroffer, an agent first reasons about the law and then about the interests that are at stake: he first determines whether it is obligatory or permitted to perform the actions specified in the offer; if permitted but not obligatory, the agent next determines whether it is in his interests to accept the offer...

(Knowledge; Reasoning; Goals; Communication)

5, Outline of a computational architecture

Dialogical Interaction: communication language; communication protocol

The Agents: representation of knowledge and goals; reasoning engine; dialogue policies
