Rolando Medellin-Gasque, Katie Atkinson and Trevor Bench-Capon


Abstract

In multi-agent scenarios where the communication overload is important the number of questions exchanged may impact negatively on the efficiency of the MAS. We present in this report different critical question orderings in simulated dialogues about plans to identify the best ordering in terms of the number of ques- tions exchanged. In the type of dialogue we are considering the question-answer exchange represents the phase where agents exchange more information.
