....the Communication Level as an interface with other agents. Although the communication process between various agents was not specified in this paper, there is a necessity to adopt an agent communication language (ACL) Currently, the use of KQML (Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language) [5] is being considered because of its relevant characteristics for communication among agents. Distance Learning was presented as one possible scenario in which the proposed framework can be used. Currently, there is a necessity for intelligent tools that can deal with real learning instead of only ....

....able to call upon many different types of knowledge generation operators, and also in that it is designed to be less tightly coupled with SQL, and more closely resembles a programming language than a query language. A language in which a different approach to the acquisition of knowledge is KQML (Finin et al. 1994). KQML is viewed as a tool by which intelligent agents may communicate among themselves and exchange the information needed to complete their individual tasks. It is thus designed to permit queries for individual pieces of knowledge. KGL differs from KQML in that it focuses more on queries for ....

....and facilitates agent interactions. Information agents do not function in a vacuum. They have to make themselves known as information providers to the larger agent society. When an agent is created, it advertises itself to some entity such as a matchmaker or broker (Genesereth Katchpel 1994; Finin et al. 1994; Kuokka Harada 1995; Decker, Williamson, Sycara 1996b) This advertisement, expressed in terms of an agent s informationbase schema, specifies the information services that the agent is making available, the associated ontology(ies) and any associated query limitations. This advertisement ....
....i.e. associating information agents and the information that they provide, is itself an information agent. One of the reusable behaviors inherited by a matchmaker is the ability to process persistent queries as described in (Kuokka Harada 1995) The agents in our system communicate using KQML (Finin et al. 1994). Our focus on long term behaviors, such as periodic queries and information monitoring, has required us to extend the language with performative parameters to allow the specification of deadlines, task frequencies, and other temporal behavioral constraints. Coordination of information agents is ....
