Specification and Verification of Agent Interaction Using Abductive Reasoning
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper provides a tutorial overview of the theory and of the tools the SOCS project provided to design, define and test agent interaction protocols. ...
Within the SOCS (Societies Of ComputeeS) project, a language based on abductive semantics has been proposed as a mean to define interactions in open societies. ...
The tool, called SOCS-SI, runs the implementation of the SCIFF proof-procedure and it has been developed and interfaced with popular MAS systems. ...

Computational Logic for Run-Time Verification of Web Services Choreographies: Exploiting the SOCS-SI Tool
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this work, we investigate the feasibility of using a framework based on computational logic, and mainly defined in the context of Multi-Agent Systems for Global Computing (SOCS UE Project), for modeling ...
In this way, we can use a suitable tool, derived from the proof-procedure defined in the context of the SOCS project, to check at runtime whether a set of existing services behave in a conformant manner ...

The SOCS Computational Logic Approach to the Specification and Verification of Agent Societies
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
It describes the SOCS social model: an agent interaction specification and verification framework equipped with a declarative and operational semantics, expressed in terms of abduction. ...
The operational counterpart of the proposed framework has been implemented and integrated in SOCS-SI, a tool that can be used for on-the-fly verification of agent compliance with respect to specified protocols ...

COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION OF AGENT INTERACTION: A LOGIC-BASED SOFTWARE TOOL
2006
Applied Artificial Intelligence
Thus, the need arises for a formalism to specify constraints on agent interaction, and for a tool able to observe and check for agent compliance to interaction protocols. ...
In open societies of agents, where agents are autonomous and heterogeneous, it is not realistic to assume that agents will always act so as to comply to interaction protocols. ...

Analysis of the GLARE and GPROVE Approaches to Clinical Guidelines
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In recent years, many groups have developed different computer-assisted management systems of GL. Each approach has its own peculiarities and thus a comparison is necessary. ...
The final goal of our analysis is to exploit the differences between these two systems and if they can be fruitfully integrated. ...

The operational counterpart is given by a proof procedure, that allows to reason upon the specifications and to test the conformance of given interactions w.r.t. a defined protocol. ...
Moreover, with the increasing complexity of modern distributed systems, protocols are used also to control such a complexity, and to ensure that the system as a whole evolves with certain features. ...
