Abstract
This chapter considers chance discovery and management in a community of intelligent, autonomous, software agents, where agents may have differing beliefs and intentions. For such a community of agents, we derive a set of five requirements for the design of languages and protocols for communications between the agents when discussing chance discovery and management. We then use these requirements to assess two proposals in the multi-agent systems community for agent communications: generic languages, such as the FIPA ACL, and dialogue game protocols. The latter are found to have greater potential capability to support dialogues over chance discovery and management between autonomous agents.
