Abstract
The structure of intelligence is one of the concerns along the study of multiple agents, where their architectures may face the complexity of human-human dialogues. In fact, current advanced information systems face now major limitations, and one of them is the simple sequential question and answer structure of their interfaces. This topic concerns learning technology at large, where knowledge communication plays a key role to improve friendliness in studying environments. Along the present paper we discuss the themes concerned with governability of interactions, namely agent models, the formalism for the internal representation of the semantic content of communication acts, and the computational tractability associated with dialogue processing.
