  <description><![CDATA[Both conversation specifications and policies are required to facilitate
effective agent communication. Specifications provide the order in which
speech acts can occur in a meaningful conversation, whereas policies restrict
the specifications that can be used in a certain conversation based
on the sender, receiver, messages exchanged thus far, content, and other
context. We propose that positive/negative permissions and obligations
be used to model conversation specifications and polici...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We describe our preliminary work in modeling conversation
specifications and policies as positive/negative permissions and obligations.
Our model is generic as it is independent of the syntax and semantics
of the communication language and can be used for different agent
communication languages. We also discuss the relationship between conversation
specifications and policies and show how both are used by an
agent in order to decide what communicative act to perform next within
a conve...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We describe a research project on resolving semantic differences for multi-agent systems (MAS) in electronic commerce. The approach can be characterized as follows: (1) agents in a MAS may have their own specific ontologies defined on top of a shared base ontology; (2) concepts in these ontologies are represented as frame-like structures based on DAML+OIL language; (3) the semantic differences between agents are resolved at runtime through inter-agent communication; and (4) the resolution is...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Jackal is a Java-based tool for communication using the
KQML agent communication language. Some features that
make it extremely valuable to agent development are its conversation
management facilities, flexible, blackboard style
interface and ease of integration. Jackal has been developed
in support of an investigation of the use of agents
in enterprise-wide integration of planning and execution
for manufacturing. This paper describes Jackal at a surface
and design level, and demonstr...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A great deal of research and development effort has been
undertaken in recent years to integrate otherwise disconnected
manufacturing production and planning (P/E) application
software systems so that the enterprises can react quickly and
accurately to the ever changing market dynamics. In such an
integrated P/E environment it is, at times, necessary to bring in
a new application in order to replace an outmoded one or to
provide functionality that is not available in the existing

  <description><![CDATA[Conversations are a useful means of structuring communica-
tive interactions among agents. The value of a conversation-
based approach is largely determined by the conversational
model it uses. Finite State Machines, used heavily to date
for this purpose, are not sucient for complex agent inter-
actions requiring a notion of concurrency. We propose the
use of Colored Petri Nets as a model underlying a language
for conversation specication. This carries the relative sim-
plicity and ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Despite the substantial number of multi-agent systems
that use an Agent Communication Language (ACL) the dust
has not settled yet over the landscape of ACLs. The semantic
specification issues have monopolized the debate at
the expense of other important pragmatic issues that must
be adequately resolved in the immediate future if ACLs
are going to support the development of robust agent systems.
After introducing some of the basic concepts relating
to Agent Communication Languages, we ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Interoperability is a central issue for both the mobile
agents community and the wider agents community. Unfortunately,
the interoperability concerns are different between
the two communities. As a result, inter-agent communication
is an issue that has been addressed in a limited manner
by the mobile agents community. Agent communication
languages (ACLs) have been developed as tools with the
capacity to integrate disparate sources of information and
support interoperability but have a...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[On the road for the future success of mobile agents, we believe that inter-agent
communication is an issue that has not been adequately addressed by the mobile
agents community. Supplementing mobile agents with the ability to interact with
other mobile or static agents, or agentified information sources is a necessity in
the vastly heterogeneous arena where mobile agents are called to compete. Thus,
an agent communication language should be interpreted as a tool with the capacity
to int...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We address the issue of semantics for an agent communication language. In particular, the specification and semantics of Knowledge Query Manipulation Language (KQML), and the logical architecture of KQML--speaking agents are investigated. KQML is a language and protocol to support communication between (intelligent) software agents. First, we present a new specification for the KQML language that corrects a number of outstanding problems. Then, based on ideas from speech act theory, we propos...]]></description>

It provides a set of primitives that can be easily coded to every programming language, enabling the communication between agents written in different languages, running on different platforms on the internet.
