Abstract

This paper presents a model of formal dialogue between intelligent and autonomous agents and its application to team formation in cooperative design. Using formal dialogue, agents exchange information about their specialty domain, ability, opportunity and willingness. Agents understand each other to form a potential cooperative team, in which joint beliefs and intentions are created. The cooperative tasks can be carried out within the collaborative team, and avoid the blindness in the task decomposition and allocation as usually appeared in cooperative design systems.
