Uncertainty Management Framework for Multi-Agent System

Software Agents interaction involves uncertainty. In order to model and formalize agents’ interaction, three properties: public, private and protected are adopted to precisely represent the belief-desire-intension (BDI) agent, and agent’s relationships have been interpreted in terms of cooperation, coordination and competition based on BDI agent model. An agent’s uncertainty management framework is then proposed with respect to some decision support tools, this framework could ease the analysis of multiagent systems in a more formal way and help design efficient reasoning process for software agents.
