....We have chosen to use IBM s Jackal as our agent message passing infrastructure. Jackal provides an infrastructure for agent naming and communication using KQML. In addition, it provides a mechanism for specifying conversation protocols and enforcing the semantics of conversations at runtime (Cost, Finin et al. 1998). Upon this basic infrastructure, we build our agents. In addition, the service agents (Facilitator, Policy, Resource, and Maintenance) and the Personal Brokers leverage two key Java technologies: Java Activation and Jini. Jini provides a set of services and a programming model for federating ....

....These dialogues frequently follow commonly occurring patterns or conversation policies , and communication can be enhanced if the two participants are explicitly aware of the particular pattern in which they are engaged. Work on conversation policy development is an active research topic [3,4,9,10], but conversation policy standards have yet to emerge. In order to understand the range of possible messages that can be received, however, an agent must also have, in addition to a common means of characterising performatives and conversation policies, a model of the application domain with ....

....system, CARROT II. It is the successor of an earlier project (Collaborative Agent based Routing and Retrieval of Text) 9, 7] originally CAFE [8] C2 is composed of a flexible hierarchy of query routing agents. These agents com municate with one another using KQML [10] and the Jackal platform [6], and may be distributed across the Internet. While all agents in the system are alike, they can each control widely varying information systems. Agents interact with information sources via a well defined interface. Queries presented to any agent in the system are routed, based on the content of ....

....portal also has the ability to generate RDF Site Summary (RSS) files in response to certain queries. These RSS files can then be used for various external purposes, such as displaying upcoming talks on a departmental web site. To provide access for agent based services, ITTALKS makes use of Jackal [7], a communication infrastructure for Java based agents developed by our research group at UMBC. Currently, it facilitates the use of KQML agent communication language [9] Additionally, it is in the process of adapting to the FIPA standards [10, 1] In addition, our research group, in cooperation ....

....to develop such services if we can build on top of a WWW like infrastructure of agent naming and message encoding. Conversations As we mentioned earlier, the original KQML specification suggested an implicit sequencing of messages in agent interactions. First in [23] and later in [27] 5] [11] the idea of conversations for communicating agents that use an ACL, was introduced and further explored. Conversations mark a shift from individual messages to sequences (exchanges) that agents engage in order to perform certain tasks. The emphasis shifts from the agent s internals to the agent s ....

The basic ideas and methods to attack the aspects of negotiating agent negotiation behaviors including the communication and problem solving parts have been given and studied. We are currently working with a prototype system implemented with the Jackal [3] toolkit for building multi agent systems. ....

Jackal is a Java based, multi threaded infrastructure for communication and interaction between KQML speaking agents [4, 13]. It is also well in sync with the recent international standards effort of ACL carried by the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents [8] Jackal supports all of the important functionality for agent communication and interaction. In particular . It supports ANS transparently through an ....

The JAFMAS environment, which has support for conversations, is used in AARIA [23] a manufacturing planning and scheduling project. Jackal [10], developed at UMBC, 11 The ACL is KQML. All the systems we mention here, are using some variant of KQML as their ACL. As of the spring of 1998 there were no published, deployed systems claiming to use the FIPA ACL. is another Java package that allows applications written in Java to communicate ....

....of the various multi agent systems that use an ACL for interagent communication would reveal two interesting trends. ffl Java is rapidly becoming the language of choice for building agents and knowledge based systems in general [6] ffl Many of the new APIs for agent communication languages [3, 27, 9, 8] offer support for modeling, manipulating and reasoning about conversations among agents Conversations offer an intuitive way to structure an agent s activities. Also, given the problematic nature of compliance with the ACL s semantic account, conversations shift the focus from the internals of ....
