summaryThis talk will provide an overview of a particular approach to programming multi-agent systems and how we aim to do formal verification of systems programmed according to that approach. The talk covers some features of "Jason", a Java-based interpreter for a variant of a logic-based agent-oriented programming language called AgentSpeak, and mentions various ongoing research strands related to it, including its combination with: ontological reasoning, organisations and environment, communication, plan exchange, reasoning about goals, belief revision, and plan patterns. The talk also gives a brief account of recent research aimed at developing a library of common features of agent programming languages so as to facilitate the use model-checking techniques for the verification of multi-agent systems written in such languages.
