  <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[The software agents paradigm has received considerable research, but has not yet found broad application. The vision is still sound and will be reinvigorated by two new developments: semantic web languages, which provide stronger knowledge-sharing technology, and the emergence of pervasive computing environments, whose requirements match the strengths of multi-agent systems.

  <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 conversation...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Negotiation, co-operation, and collaboration between multi-agent systems is the key to success in the agent world. An agent that is capable of these actions can offer them as services. the main challenge lies in discovering the agents that provide and services. The FIPA architecture facilitates the service discovery process with the help of a Directory Facilitator (DF), but the service discovery process is limited to a particular Agent Platform. Federation between the DFs would lead to a Gnut...]]></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[In open multi-agent systems, agents must interact with other agents with which they are not familiar. In particular, an agent will receive requests and assertions from other agents and must decide how to act on the requests and assess the credibility of the assertions. In a closed environment, agents have well-known and familiar transaction partners whose rights and credibility are known. The problem thus reduces to authentication, which is the reliable identification of agents’ true identi...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Effective use of the vast quantity of available information and services on the Internet will require multi-agent systems to be tightly integrated with existing web infrastructure. This, however, will be impossible unless the information on the web is presented in a semantic language, such as the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML), which is one aim of the “Semantic Web”. As part of our exploration of Semantic Web technology, and DAML in particular, we have constructed ITTALKS, a web-based...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Internet agents are expected to accomplish their tasks despite heterogeneity; agents of different designs and varying skills and domain knowledge need to interact successfully through knowledge and information exchange and effective coordination. An Agent Communication Language (ACL) is a powerful framework for interacting agents in open and dynamic environments. Although an ACL provides a framework for knowledge sharing between agents, it is, by itself, inadequate for coordination between ag...]]></description>

By e-markets, we mean markets on the web (or large inter-enterprise private networks) where buyers interact and transact with sellers. e-markets also include infrastructure support and mediation services and players, such as for yellow pages, catalogs, shopping search, advertising, sales assistants, brokering, aggregation, infomediaries, reputation and trust man...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The Connectionist Model Transfer (CMT) framework was proposed to allow an agent the ability to instantiate and execute neural networks received from other agents in order to maintain its learning or classification performance in a dynamic environment. One limitation of the CMT framework was that it assumed the existence of at least one network in the system that embodied the classification mappings required to exhibit satisfactory classification performance for each situation that an agent mi...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The concept of an agent is ubiquitous in Computer Science. During the past decade, a "software agents" paradigm has emerged, which views agents as autonomous, cooperating processes that use expressive communication languages to exchange information and knowledge and to coordinate their activities. This has been seen as a way to capitalize on opportunities (and solve many problems) created by the Internet and the Web. Yet the technology has not yet left our laboratories. Was it just another AI...]]></description>
