Abstract

In the recent literature on multiagent systems there have been several proposals of formal systems for reasoning about delegation. Most of these approaches have dealt with the concept of delegation leaving mental states such as beliefs, goals and intentions out of consideration. The aim of this paper is to develop a formal approach for reasoning about delegation by modeling intentions and beliefs of the delegating agent in an explicit way. We present a logic where it is possible to investigate the relations between the concept of Intention to be and the concept of Delegation.

We present DCL-PC: a dynamic logic of delegation and cooperation. The logical foundation of DCL-PC is CL-PC, a logic for reasoning about cooperation in which the powers of agents and coalitions of agents stem from a distribution of atomic Boolean ...
