Abstract
Any social organization (either natural or artificial) needs forms of coordination and cooperation. Cooperation and coordination is possible with and without explicit communication. “Cooperation without Communication” is indeed a title of a paper (Genesereth et al. 1986), describing how agents rationally infer other agent’s intentions, instead of querying them. Another case of cooperation without explicit communication is by stimulus-response like reactions of an agent to actions of other agents, for which no common communication language is required.
