		<pub:abstract><![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 cover KQML and
FIPA ACL, the two existing fully-specified ACLs. We give
a brief introduction to their semantics and the issues relating
to semantic descriptions of ACLs. We then shift our
focus beyond the semantics and point to problems and limitations
shared by both ACLs. Questions such as the nature
of conformance of an agent system with an ACL specification
and issues such as naming, registration, authentication,
basic facilitation services, etc., may or may not be (technically
speaking) part of an ACL specification, but we feel that
the answers and solutions to such problems can "make or
break" an ACL. We finally discuss the future of ACL standardization
efforts and identify the issues that are likely to
emerge as we gain experience in building and deploying
agent-based systems.]]></pub:abstract>
