Abstract

In this paper we revisit the motivations and the initial developments that led to our DALT 2003 paper Extending the Operational Semantics of a BDI Agent-Oriented Programming Language for Introducing Speech-Act Based Communication. We then discuss our own follow-up work which consisted in formally defining a larger set of speech-act based performatives and deploying them in Jason, a fully-fledged implementation of AgentSpeak. Subsequent research referring to the computationally grounded semantics of speech-act based agent communication that we introduced in that paper is also discussed.
