  <description><![CDATA[The concept of an agent is ubiquitous in Computer Science. We employ it to talk about and to model a wide range of things from physical robots, to modules in client-server architectures, to human, to Internet-based information retrieval programs, to intelligent personal assistants. During the past decade a "software agents" paradigm has
emerged which views agents as autonomous, cooperating processes which use rich agent communication languages to exchange information and knowledge and to coo...]]></description>

  <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 policies. We...]]></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[The semantic web suggests having data and information on the web defined
and linked in a way that it is both human readable and machine
understandable. Machine understandability means that data has been
explicitly prepared for programs and softrware agents to reason about and
reuse. However, most current software agents have not been designed to run
in a web environment: the software agents and web components are working
in different models.  For example, most software agent frameworks ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Travel Agent Game in Agentcities (TAGA) is a framework that extends and enhances the Trading Agent Competition (TAC) system to work in Agentcities, an open multiagent systems environment of FIPA-compliant systems. TAGA makes several contributions: auction services are added to enrich the Agentcities environment, the use of the semantic web languages RDF and DAML+OIL improve the interoperability among agents, and the DAML-S ontology is employed to support service registration, discovery, and i...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The Darpa Agent Markup Language (DAML) is the newest effort for Semantic Web. It can be used to create ontologies and markup information resource like web pages. The information resource can be read by human and understood by agent programs. We believed DAML could be used to markup agent communication content and promote knowledge sharing and exchanging between agents. This paper also suggested an alternative model to connect web and agent together. We defined the necessary ontologies for age...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Context-aware computing is an emerging paradigm to free everyday users
from manually configuring and instructing computer systems. As the general
trend of computing is progressing towards an open and dynamic infrastructure,
building context-aware systems can be difficult and costly. In order to build
successful context-aware systems, we must develop an architecture to reduce the
difficulty and cost of building these systems. This PhD. dissertation proposal

  <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[It is now more than ten years since researchers in the US Knowledge Sharing Effort envisaged a future where complex systems could be built by combining knowledge and services from multiple knowledge bases, and the first agent communication language, KQML, was proposed (Neches et al., 1991). This model of communication, based on speech acts, a declarative message content representation language, and the use of explicit ontologies defining the domains of discourse (Genesereth & Ketchpel, 1994),...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We describe CARROT II (C2), an agent-based architecture for distributed information retrieval and document collection management. In C2, agents pro­ vide search services over local document collections or information sources. A C2 system can consist of an arbitrary number of agents, distributed across a variety of platforms and locations and integrating widely varying information sources. C2 agents ad­vertise content-derived metadata that describes their local document store; this metadata ...]]></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. Nowhere focuses on Knowledge Level Programming: the developer does not have to explicitly manage with low level details such as network problems, agents crashes or even physical addresses of agents, using an anony...]]></description>
