DDLD-Based Reasoning for MAS

摘要

In this paper, a model for DDLD-based multi-agent system is described. The article extends our previous work, in which a formalism for distributed default reasoning to be performed by a group of agents that share knowledge in the form of a distributed default theory has been presented. The formalism is based on default transformations, which can be used to derive answers to queries in the form of defaults. The distributed reasoning process is described in a setting where agents communicate by passing messages.
