摘要
1前言
Agent通信协议决定着Agent是否能够有组织地进行交互.美国ARPA的KSE(Knowleedge Shring Effort)开发的基于语言行为理论(Speech Act Theory)的Agent通信语言KQML[1]及另外一种Agent通信语言FIPA ACL[2]已成为Agent通信语言的事实标准.对于移动Agent也有专门为之设计的通信语言Telescript.但是纯粹的Agent通信语言不能够完成Agent的协作,而是需要Agent的交互规则来支持A-gent利用Agent语言进行协作.在这种意义上,Agent通信语言只是Agent通信协议的一部分.由于Agent技术本身的特点及其应用领域的不同,目前国内外还没有Agent通信协议标准出现[3].
Agent communication protocol is a set of interaction rules by which agent exchange communication language. In this paper we introduce a four-layer agent communication protocol, whose layers from below to up are message transport and control protocol layer, agent conversation layer, agent language layer and agent communication API layer. On the agent conversation layer we construct a general agent negotiation and promise model(N/P Model) and regard N/P process as a part of the agent cooperation in our agent communication model. At last we use finite state temporal chart to present a process of agent cooperation and prove the validity of agent communication model and protocols.
