Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Information about agent and actions they perform in competitive environments are incomplete and noisy. In this work we introduce a new language that enables agents to act, interact and learn the environment and atrategies of their opponents, and to construct their own plans. The action and interaction are based on Speech Act Theory(SAT)and Game Theory formalisms. The current environment situations are assessed stored in agents dynamic memories as cases, and using the Case Based Reasoning(CBR)techniques, and other inferential methods, agents are to deal with unknown actions(cases), similar and conflicting cases, etc. This process results in increasing the consistency of the background knowledge of agents by explaining, adding, deleting and refining cases due to the experience that they encounter. Electronic Commerce(EC)is defined in our project as a society of seven agents, Dealer, Manufacturer, Search, Customer, Catalog, delivery and Bank agents.While the language can be used in any competitive and hostile situations, in this work we demonstrate an implementation of the language in electronic commerce, specifically in the case of dealer and delivery agents competing with each other. The definition of the language's syntax and semantics are demonstrated.
