Abstract
In the last two decades there has been a lot of research on action languages and reasoning about actions. Most of this research assume a domain with a single agent and possibly the environment. In this short paper we explore the relevance of this research vis-a-vis modeling multi-agent domains. We use the action language \(\mathcal{C}\) and show that with minimal extensions it can capture several multi-agent domains from the literature.
