Our approach takes the state of the interaction in which agents are engaged as the basis on which the semantic alignment rests. In this paper we describe an implementation of this technique and provide experimental results on interactions of varying complexity.}, keywords = {alignment mechanism, alignment protocol, interaction model}, author = {Manuel Atencia Arcas and Marco Schorlemmer}, editor = {Adrian Paschke and Hans Weigand and Wernher Behrendt and Klaus Tochtermann and Tassilo Pellegrini} }
