Camilla Schwind  (http://pageperso.lif.univ-mrs.fr/~camilla.schwind/).

The thesis project concerns groups of agents which collaborate exchanging
information
and must follow different rules of behaviour. In
this environment, the behaviour and the reasoning tasks are complex and
concern multiple agents. The research will concentrate on the study logical

and on the development of automated deduction methods for the studied
formalisms.

computer science, artificial intelligence and logic; expertise in agent
systems is desired. Knowledge of French language is not required. There are no
