Project details

Project astract The ILIKS scientific programme for modelling interacting knowledge systems is organized in four complementary topics, each of them chaired by two members from different partners.<br/>The first topic is dedicated to the notion of cognitive agent, with its mental attitudes, its reasoning to take decisions and plans, and its acting proper. The second topic is dedicated to the fundamentals of multi-agent systems and to the social dimension of interaction; it focuses on social relationships, on the notions of collective agents and organizations, and on services. Interaction is modelled there in game-theoretical terms. The third topic is dedicated to models of linguistic interaction, an essential modality of interaction, focussing on the specificities of communicative actions and on the structure of discourse and dialogue. The last and fourth topic is dedicated to the lexical and knowledge resources to support interaction with artificial knowledge systems. <br/>The core of the research program, modelling interaction, is therefore dealt with in topics 2 and 3. However, addressing it cannot be done without the fundamental studies of topic 1, and developing concrete interacting systems requires the infrastructure investigated in topic 4. <br/>The tight interrelationship of these four topics is proven by the fact that most research groups are involved in several of them; there are even ILIKS members who work in all the four. In the detailed description of the topics that now follows the research groups involved in each activity are listed (acronyms are explained below, before the reference list). Such a list shall be extended if other laboratories affiliated to CNRS specialized in this field join the LEA.
