In this paper we cope with providing an approach to declarative semantics of logic-based agent-oriented languages, taking then as a case-study the language DALI which has been previously defined by the authors. This “evolutionary semantics” does not resort to a concept of state: rather, it models reception of events as program transformation steps, that produce a “program evolution” and a corresponding “semantic evolution”. Communication among agents and multi-agent systems is also taken into account. The aim is that of modeling agent’s evolution according to either external (environmental) or internal changes in a logical way, thus allowing in principle the adoption of formal verification methods. We also intend to create a common ground for relating and comparing different approaches/languages.

Abstract

In this paper we cope with providing an approach to declarative semantics of logic-based agent-oriented languages, taking then as a case-study the language DALI which has been previously defined by the authors. This “evolutionary semantics” does not resort to a concept of state: rather, it models reception of events as program transformation steps, that produce a “program evolution” and a corresponding “semantic evolution”. Communication among agents and multi-agent systems is also taken into account. The aim is that of modeling agent’s evolution according to either external (environmental) or internal changes in a logical way, thus allowing in principle the adoption of formal verification methods. We also intend to create a common ground for relating and comparing different approaches/languages.
