Unfortunately, researchers are struggling to converge towards an unambiguous definition of notions such as interpretation or explanation—which are often (and mistakenly)used interchangeably. Furthermore, in spite of the sound metaphors thatMulti-Agent System (MAS) could easily provide to address such a challenge, an agent-oriented perspective on the topic is still missing. Thus, this paper proposes an abstract and formal framework for XAI-basedMAS, reconciling notions and results from the literature. ER -
