Abductive logic programming (ALP) extends logic programming with hypothetical reasoning
by means of abducibles, an extension able to handle interesting problems, such as …

Specification and verification of agent interaction protocols in a logic-based system

M Alberti, D Daolio, P Torroni, M Gavanelli… - Proceedings of the …, 2004 - dl.acm.org
In multiagent systems, agent interaction is ruled by means of interaction protocols. Compliance
to protocols can be hardwired in agent programs; however, this requires that only "…
