N2 - The paper presents a proposal for the specification and verification of systems of communicating agents in a temporal logic. The proposal is based on a social approach to agent communication, where communication is described in terms of changes to the social state, and interaction protocols are defined by a set of temporal constraints, which specify the effects and preconditions of the communicative actions on the social state. The paper addresses the problem of combining protocols to define new more specialized protocols and exploits this idea in the specification of clinical guidelines.
