Protocol synthesis with dialogue structure theory
Jarred McGinnis, David Robertson, Chris Walton · 2005
Inspired by computational linguistic approaches to annotate the structures that occur in human dialogue, this paper describes a technique which encodes these structures as transformations applied to a protocol language. Agents can have a controlled mechanism to synthesise and communicate their interaction protocol during their participation in a multiagent system. This is in contrast to the approaches where agents must subscribe to a fixed protocol and relinquish control over an interaction that may not satisfy the agent's dialogical needs.
