Dynamic Interaction Protocol Load in Multi-Agent System Collaboration

Multi-agent system(MAS) has more advantages because the agents can collaborate to complete complex tasks. However for the interactions are more complicated and even uncontrolled, industry find it difficult to resolve the multi-agent collaborations. This paper focuses on the interaction protocol in MAS. Firstly the interaction ontology library comprising role ontology, action ontology and message ontology is introduced into the semantic interactions. Then the representation of interaction protocol is presented, which expresses an interaction protocol as process description and decision-making rules. Then we propose a three-layer agent architecture that contains knowledge layer, collaboration control layer and communication layer. We embed a protocol interpreter and loader into the collaboration control layer to deal with the interactions between agents. Finally dynamic interaction protocol load in MAS are discussed, which load the interaction protocol from protocol library conveniently and the code will be generated automatically. Then we give an experiment to verify our resolution.
