Abstract

In this paper we illustrate how a role-based semantics for agent communication languages can embed the two main existing models of agent communication languages, respectively based on 'mental attitudes' and 'social commitments' semantics. These two models have been presented as incompatible approaches, but recently we illustrated for persuasion dialogues and using our normative multi-agent systems framework, that they can be seen also as complimentary ones. Independently from our own multi-agent model, in this paper we illustrate for the speech act 'inform' how the role based semantics embeds the other two semantics.
