In this paper we extend an existent approach to formalizing agents´behavior in collaborative dialogues. We build on an existent abstract dialogue framework, for which some collaborative semantics have already been defined, and contribute by developing a new semantics which covers the in-betweens of two of the previous, namely the basic collaborative and the full collaborative semantics. The new intermediate semantics captures the behavior of agents who make an effort toward achieving the highest degree of collaboration (full collaborative semantics) although they do not always succeed. We provide a complete example of the proposed semantics using Propositional Logic Programming with Negation as Failure.
