Item Agent Communication in DAML World(2003-01-01) Zou, Youyong; Finin, Tim; Peng, Yun; Joshi, Anupam; Cost, ScottThe Darpa Agent Markup Language (DAML) is the newest effort for Semantic Web. It can be used to create ontologies and markup information resource like web pages. The information resource can be read by human and understood by agent programs. We believed DAML could be used to markup agent communication content and promote knowledge sharing and exchanging between agents. This paper also suggested an alternative model to connect web and agent together. We defined the necessary ontologies for agent communication in DAML language and described the agent communication scenario occurred in the ITTalks Project.Item Using Colored Petri Nets for Conversation Modeling(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-09-01) Cost, R. Scott; Chen, Ye; Finin, Tim; Labrou, Yannis; Peng, YunConversations are a useful means of structuring communicative interactions among agents. The value of a conversation-based approach is largely determined by the conversational model it uses. Finite State Machines, used heavily to date for this purpose, are not sufficient for complex agent interactions requiring a notion of concurrency. We propose the use of Colored Petri Nets as a model underlying a language for conversation specification. This carries the relative simplicity and graphical representation of the former approach, along with greater expressive power and support for concurrency. The construction of such a language, Protolingua, is currently being investigated within the framework of the Jackal agent development environment. In this paper, we explore the use of Colored Petri Nets in modeling agent communicative interaction.
