- Agent communication and artificial institutions, by Nicoletta Fornara, Francesco Viganò and Marco Colombetti, pp. 121-142 (discussing agent communication languages, commitments, artificial institutions and norms, providing some very basic ontologies of agents and commitments, doubtless interesting for WP 3!)

Attached is a map of the literature as I see it. It is designed to help me keep the big picture in mind but may be of interest to others also. Please feel free to modify or add to this. It is presented as a PDF which I will update regularly and also (for those who want to add or change) in the original Freemind format.
