Abstract

A formal framework is presented that models communication and promises in multi-agent interactions. This f1·amework genera lizes previous work on cooperation withont communication, and shows t}u~ ability of communication to resolve conflicts among agents having disparate goals. Using a deal-making mechanism, agents are able to coordinate and cooperate more easily than in the communicat.ion-free model. In addition, there are certain types of interactions where communication makes possible mutually bcn~ficial activity that is otherwise impossible to coordinate.
