Chapter 5 in Multiagent Engineering, 2006, pp 431-464 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapters design issues have been discussed with respect to architecture and interaction. These chapters are focused on techniques and methodologies. However, an explicit semantics of agent architectural and interaction behavior is required for the analysis and implementation of complex real-world systems. Additionally, the adaptation of a multiagent system to real-world domains requires the formal specification of knowledge. In this chapter, we introduce semantics from a general perspective with special focus on agent technology, e.g., semantics for communication. Finally, we introduce formal semantics for representation of intelligent agents and multiagent systems.
