A Inter-Agent Interaction is a process in which agents (humans, animal, artificial agents) engage in communication and behaviors that influence each other.
- Context:
- It can (typically) occur in an Interaction Environments, including physical environments, virtual environments, and mixed reality environments.
- It can be governed by Interaction Protocols and interaction standards.
- It can be enabled or facilitated by communication technology, interaction devices, and interaction platforms.
- It can range from being Human-to-Human Interaction, Human-to-Animal Interaction, Human-to-Machine Interaction, Animal-to-Machine Interaction, Animal-to-Animal Interaction, Machine-to-Machine Interaction, or a combination of these.
- It can range from being Cooperative Interactions, Competitive Interactions, Collaborative Interactions, and Conflictual Interactions.
- It can be analyzed in terms of System Dynamics, interaction design, user experience, and social dynamics.
- It can serve purposes like information exchange, task coordination, social bonding, conflict resolution, and entertainment.
- It can be influenced by contextual factors like cultural norms, social roles, technological capabilities, and environmental conditions.
- It can be categorized into various types, such as synchronous interaction, asynchronous interaction, direct interaction, and indirect interaction.

- Example(s):
- A Human-Robot Collaboration in a manufacturing setting.
- A Virtual Reality Gaming Interaction between online players.
- An Automated Negotiation between software agents.
- A Social Media Conversation between individuals.
- A Sensor Network Coordination in a smart city.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- An Isolated Computational Process, which does not involve interaction with other agents.
- A Solitary Human Activity, such as meditation, not involving interaction with other agents.
- A Purely Mechanical Process, devoid of agent-based interaction.
