Abstract

Despite the acceptance of FIPA-ACL as a standard for agent communications, there exist a gap between its specification and infrastructures supporting interactions among agents. The hypothesis we study in this paper is that interaction space components must be specified and described in depth by taking into account an explicit six-layered FIPA-ACL communication model. Based on this model, generic components are developed for a FIPA-ACL interaction framework. An implementation of interaction components is described within the CAPNET agent platform in an integrated way with the agent interaction architecture. The use of interaction space components for engineering agent interactions is illustrated by example.
