ITTalks Event Notification Service
July 1, 2002
Agentcities is a worldwide network of agent platforms aimed at providing an open, heterogeneous, and scalable infrastructure for service provisioning. To realize this vision, a host of research issues need to be tackled. We believe that the application of semantic web concepts, for service description, service composition, and service availability, are some of the key ones for which feasible solutions need to be developed. To gain insights into the additional issues posed by such environments, we are building an event information service for ITTalks. ITTalks is a web-based system for automatic and intelligent notification of information technology talks, seminars, and colloquia. It illustrates some of the ways in which DAML+OIL extends its ability to provide intelligent services to humans and the agents assisting them. In the context of the Agentcities initiative, our work encompasses building service description, composition, and invocation ontologies using DAML-S. We are extending the JADE directory facilitator to provide a more robust rule-based partial search mechanism based on DAML-S service descriptions
