An analysis of agent speech acts as institutional actions
No full textAll major proposals in the field of Agent Communication Languages deal with agent communication in terms of speech acts. This choice is important not only because it allows one to rely on a powerful and deep theory of communication, namely Speech Act Theory, but also because AI has developed computationally effective ways of dealing with actions. However, the AI literature does not seem to distinguish between "physical" or "natural" actions and speech acts in a principled way. This attitude often results in a fairly confused and inadequate account of what it means that an agent performs a speech act - a situation that is likely to hinder further developments in the field of Agent Communication Languages. In this paper we analyze the concept of speech act, and point out the main differences between speech acts, conceived as a special category of "institutional" actions, and natural actions. On the basis of our analysis, we conclude that speech acts should be modelled in terms of the specific social effects brought about by their performance

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
