Abstract

The context of the talk is an interest and a need to reason about issues related to cooperation in multi-agent systems, where, given the notion of a coalition (that is, a group of agents), questions arise regarding the coalitional power (what can the coalition achieve?), coalition formation (which coalitions will form?) and the result of cooperation (how will the coalition act?). Coalition Logics provide a tool to analyse some of those questions. They took off with two important developments, namely with Pauly’s formulation of Coalition Logic CL [2], and the work on Alternating-time Temporal Logic (ATL) by Alur, Henzinger and Kupferman [1].
