“…In these senses, the architecture serves as a central authority for normative domain behavior and to some extent, for promoting more efficient domain behavior among the interacting agents. Petrie et al [35] make a cogent case for the ways in which a strongly-typed agent language is not merely a convenience for agent message passing, but is also central for system design and debugging, when it is coupled with a strong agent theory and domain behavior model. Klein and Dellarocus [25] propose a framework in which agents 'register' their normative behavior with a general exception handling module.…”

“…The REDUX project management architecture uses the specifications of agent roles and permissions as it monitors the state of a design solution that is being planned and executed [35]. REDUX generates a KQML sorry message along with a reason (as per FIPA's not-understood) when an agent attempts a domain action for which it does not have the proper role or permission (e.g., changing a deadline).…”

An agent message is an attempted action upon the information state of the receiver that, if successful, would cause the receiver to move to a new information state. A model of normative communication can define when messages are not merely unsuccessful but instead are illegal or impossible actions upon the receiver's internal state. The model uses the preconditions of the other core message types, coupled with a model of task interdependencies, agent roles, and belief-desire-intention elements, to define the preconditions for sending a canonical not-understood error message. By defining the space of messages that are legal actions on an agent's internal state, a normative communication model also defines a set of 'reasons' that can accompany the error message. A not-understood error message signals a mismatch between agent interaction models and the accompanying reason opens the possibility for agents to realign their respective models. The paper discusses the matters arising from this possibility. This approach assumes that normative communication behavior reflects normative domain behavior. It also assumes that each agent accesses the normative model, in contrast with more centralized frameworks for defining normative interaction among agents and identifying interaction errors.

“…Notification about any change is passed as 'messages' to software agents, thus, minimizing human intervention. According to Petrie et al [2], the problem of using traditional tools such as Mac Project, or MS Project, is that they are inherently based on single user model of planning, with very primitive change notification mechanisms. Centralized decision-making vs. distributed decision-making is what is highlighted in the first part of Petrie et al [2].…”
