An Interaction Protocol for Agent Communication

In this paper, we introduce a formal-language interaction protocol for agent communication that may contribute to the building of better human-computer dialogues through a simulation of human language use. The paper centers on formal dialogue research. We introduce the definition of a formal model of dialogue based on Eco-Grammar Systems (EGS) and inspired in the Multi-Agent Protocol (MAP) language. The result is a simple formal device that could be used for the design of dialogue systems with limited human-like behaviour.
