This paper approaches multi-agent system programming with dialogue games allowing the semantics of communicative acts to be a component in multi-agent architectures.We present a dialogue game for enquiry enabling agents to answer questions in a distributed fashion.In addition, we propose a reasoning game that defines when agents are allowed to make decisions, in the current case, decisions to accept to believe propositions.These games are brought together in a deliberation cycle and are implemented in Prolog.
