....the network actors. However, the current AOP description of the mental state is still rather primitive in that motivation (goal) and authority aspects are paid little attention to. Another problem is that there is no distinction between different kinds of knowledge, which is partially addressed in [Verharen et al. 1994]. Furthermore, in RENISYS the agent concept will not only be used to describe machine entities, but especially to specify human agents, which may add to the complexity, as they are much less deterministic. Other deficiencies in Shoham s model, from the perspective of RENISYS, are that it ....

....the management of authorizations. One way to do this is by creating communication protocols or contracts. These are especially useful in organizations where there is little or no hierarchical ordering between agents, as is the case in research networks. The concept is worked out in some detail in [Verharen et al. 1994]. Contracts are sets of related authorizations together with conditions on the relationship between the acts and rules governing the violation of permissions and obligations. In other words, they help to modularize the normative specifications. Contracts can be modelled as complex objects that can ....

....to characterize an agent. He also describes a new programming paradigm based on this notion of agents: agent oriented programming. The CIA framework takes a similar stance to agent characterization, as 12 described in section 2 and above, in which the obligations play a central role. In [22] we described how we can use this paradigm to experiment with an implementation of the CIA framework. The architecture that probably resembles ours most closely is the one used in the ADEPT system (see [14] They also specify services and contracts. However, the communication protocols that the ....

....agent to support its role, and constraints on the synchronisation of messages. The best way to design a CIA network , is by starting from the communication structures in the domain. These communication structures can be modelled by communication models such as DEMO ( Dietz and Wiederhoven, 1992] [Verharen et al. 1994]) or Action Workflow ( Medina Mora et al. 1992] The model describes the human agents and the communication lines (messages and authorizations) between them. The communication lines are specified on a conceptual level only. They do not prescribe whether the communication is synchronous or not, ....
