Abstract
Correctness of agent communication requires that the communicatingagents share a common ontology. Most of the ontology merging approaches assumethat there is a global, god's eye view which is a combination of theconcepts in the ontology of the individual agents. These approaches admitthat the agents may have different views and try to resolve the differenceswithin the limits of the global view which contains only the concepts based onthe individual perceptions of the agents. In this paper we introduce the notionof joint perception in order to enrich the available concepts in the global viewand we introduce the notion of conceptualization based on joint perceptionin order to enable the agents to resolve the differences of their views byintroducing new concepts. We propose an incremental ontology negotiation protocolfor the conceptualization based on joint perception and demonstrate it in ablocks world. With this work we develop new insights into ontology merging andnegotiation for agent communication by defining a formal realization proposalfor emergent semantics.
