Definitely - if we were able to empirically demonstrate that they were intelligent systems - would would also likely be able to decode the patterns of non-random information that should be emerging from their system. It could be that they are communicating with other systems and we just can't understand their messages. But we have to first determine conclusively that they are astrobiological in nature - and not astrophysical.If there were enough intelligent species within proximity of one another, and there were many such clusters, it would be interesting to see if any patterns of interaction emerged.
