Habermas (1996), we propose a novel framework and formalism that goes beyond the classical speech act theory and its intentionalistic interpretations. We introduce a comprehensive theory of meaning for communication acts, assuming that the content of natural language utterances can be classified in three different domains of discourse, each one with a different type of semantic validation: the domain of objective facts, the internal or subjective domain of the sender, and the social relational domain of the sender and the receiver. We introduce also a crucial shift in the agent interaction approach, focusing on the conversation control issues and the key role played by the receiver. We claim these two new approaches of multiagent interactions will allow us to control and manage the complex interactions among agents in open real world applications

Habermas/Bühler’ Communicative Action theory we propose a novel framework that goes beyond the classical speech act theory and its intentionalistic interpretations. We introduce a comprehensive theory of meaning for communication acts assuming that the content of natural language utterances can be classified in three different domains of discourse, each one with a different type of semantic validation: the domain of objective facts, the internal or subjective domain of the sender, and the social relational domain of the sender and the receiver. Following Habermas, we introduce also a crucial shift in the agent interaction approach, focusing on the conversation control issues, on the receiver and not on the sender. We claim these two new approaches of mutiagent interactions will allow to control and manage the complex interactions among agents in open real world applications.

We start with the general concept of agent society as an entity structured by institutions and organizations, in the sense proposed by D. North. Agent interactions are presented within the theory based on communicative action theory introduced by J. Habermas. Among the three domains of discourse proposed by J. Habermas, the objective, the subjective and the social domains, we focus in this paper on the social domain of discourse to develop a new semantics based on dynamic deontic logic where we introduce the notion of complex object of the norms as proposed by P. Bailhache.

However, the potential of the commerce on the Internet is far from being completely exploited today. There are many elements that could be easily automated and endowed with intelligence, especially using agents. This paper presents the process of developing an ecommerce application modelling the coffee market in Veracruz, Mexico, using intelligent and mobile agents implemented in the CLAIM agent-oriented programming language and deployed on the SyMPA platform.
