چکیده

This report describes a synthesis of two well-known agent paradigms: Agent-Oriented Programming, Shoham (1990), and the Knowledge Query & Manipulation Language, Finin (1993). The initial implementation of AOP, Agent-0, is a simple language for specifying agent behaviour. KQML provides a standard language for inter-agent communication. Our integration (which we have called Agent-K) demonstrates that Agent-0 and KQML are highly compatible. Agent-K provides the possibility of interoperable (or open) software agents, that can communicate via KQML and which are programmed using the AOP approach.

Agent Development Support for Tcl

In the past few years, the explosive g r o wth of the Internet has allowed the construction of "virtual" systems containing hundreds or thousands of individual , relatively inexpensive computers. The agent paradigm is well-suited for this environment because it is based on distributed autonomous computation. Although the deenition of a software agent v aries widely, some common features are pre...

Analysis of Inheritance Mechanisms in Agent-Oriented Programming

Research into the design methodologies for agent-oriented programming (AOP) is still in its infancy, with most of the work focused towards applying the well-known object-oriented concepts. Integration of inheritance into AOP seems a natural step in that direction. This paper addresses the notion of inheritance in AOP.We identify and formally de ne two problems which signi cantly reduce the usef...

TKQML: A Scripting Tool for Building Agents

Tcl/Tk is an attractive language for the design of intelligent agents because it allows the quick construction of prototypes and user interfaces; new scripts can easily be bound at runtime to respond to events; and execution state is encapsulated by the interpreter, which helps in agent migration. However, a system of intelligent agents must share a common language for communicating requests an...
