    <pub:abstract><![CDATA[We describe our preliminary work in modeling conversation
specifications and policies as positive/negative permissions and obligations.
Our model is generic as it is independent of the syntax and semantics
of the communication language and can be used for different agent
communication languages. We also discuss the relationship between conversation
specifications and policies and show how both are used by an
agent in order to decide what communicative act to perform next within
a conversation. Our work is different from existing research in communication
policies because it is not tightly coupled to any domain information
like the mental states of agents or specific communicative acts.The
main contributions of this work include (i) an extensible framework that
can support varied domain knowledge and different agent communication
languages, and (ii) the declarative representation of conversation
specifications and policies in terms of permitted and obligated speech
acts.]]></pub:abstract>
