“…1 By contrast, on Michael Bratman's (1984;1987) analysis, there are circumstances under which side-effects can truly be said to have been brought about intentionally. Numerous other authors have come down on one side or the other of this issue.…”

“…Intention is the notion to characterise both our action and our mental states in our commonsense psychology (Bratman, 1984). While in a collaboration environment, intentions are not sufficient in that teamwork involves more than just the union of the simultaneous individual actions even if they are coordinated (Cohen and Levesque, 1991).…”

Abstract:Collaboration plays an important role in multi-agent environments. In this paper, a collaboration model based on joint intention will be proposed. Joint intentions are held by multi-agents to keep a team as a whole and inform shared goal with each other. In terms of BDI theory, we construct the short-term memory (STM) which is an important component in consciousness and memory model (CAM) and provides a powerful condition for collaboration of multi-agents. Dynamic description logic (DDL) is used to describe agents' belief, desires and intentions in this paper.

Abstract. The global expansion of the Web brings the global computing; and the increasing number of problems with increasing complexity & sophistication also makes collaboration desirable. In this paper, we presented a semanticsbased framework for collaborative problem solving in agent grid by coupling joint intention and dynamic description logics (DDL), our previous work to extend description logics (DL) with a dynamic dimension to model the dynamic world. Capabilities and attitudes of agents were captured by actions, and formulas in DDL respectively. Thus representation components in our framework were conferred with well-defined semantics by relating them to some domain ontologies. We could employ reasoning on actions in DDL to help agents to find proper colleagues when collaboration is necessary, and the philosophy underlying Joint Intention to bind their actions to achieve their overall goal. The main strengths of our framework include: i) finding probably helpful agents in a semantically accurate way due to the employment of semantic information; ii) going much closer to industrial implementations while retaining the main express power of classical joint intention model.
