Abstract
The cognitive coherence theory for agent communication pragmatics allows modelling a great number of agent communication aspects while being computational. This paper describes our exploration in applying the cognitive coherence pragmatics theory for BDI agents communication. The presented practical framework rely on our dialogue games based agent communication language (DIAGAL) and our dialogue game simulator toolbox (DGS). It provides the necessary theoretical and practical elements for implementing the theory as a new layer over classical BDI agents. In doing so, it brought a general scheme for automatizing agents’ communicational behavior. Finally, we give an example of the resulting system execution.
