abstract = {RoboCup has hosted a coach competition for several
years creating a challenging testbed for research in
advice-giving agents. A coach agent is expected to
advise an unknown coachable team. In RoboCup 2003,
the coachable agents could process the coach's
advice but did not include a protocol for
communication among them. In this paper we present
CommLang, a standard for agent communication which
will be used by the coachable agents in the
simulation league at RoboCup 2004. The communication
standard supports representation of multiple message
types which can be flexibly combined in a single
utterance. We then describe the application of
CommLang in our coachable agents and present
empirical results showing the communication's effect
on world model completeness and
accuracy. Communication in our agents improved the
fraction of time which our agents are confident of
player and ball locations and simultaneously
improved the overall accuracy of that information. },
