Abstract

Intention modelling in self-interested and adversarial communities of agents is a challenging issue. This contribution discusses the role of modelling and meta-reasoning in intention modelling. The formal model of deductive and inductive meta-reasoning is presented and supported by experimental implementations. This research has been motivated by the problem of intention detection in semi-collaborative multi-agent system for OOTW (Operation Other Than War).
