An Enthymeme-Based Communication Framework for BDI Agents

In this project, we implement an Enthymeme-Based Communication Framework for BDI Agents using JaCaMo Platform.

Evaluation

We have evaluated our framework with different scenarios.

• Scenario based on the Argumentation Scheme for Data Access Control [1] -> Here
• Scenario based on the Argumentation Scheme from Role to Know [2,3,4,5] -> Here

Running the Framework

This tutorial is based on JaCaMo Eclipse Plugin. More information about JaCaMo is available here. Also, you need to be familiar with Jason agent-oriented programming language.

Installing JaCaMo Eclipse Plugin

• Install Eclipse IDE
• Install JaCaMo plugin following the instruction in this link
• Import the EBCF project
