Abstract

It is challenge for an interoperable multi-agent system (MAS) to understand the communications among software agents. With the standardization of ontology, the semantic Web services can make the communication more flexible and automated. This paper presents an ontology-based, runtime semantic solution for solving the interacting problem between two agents. The paper demonstrates how to employ the OWL description and service ontology to a Request for Quote (RFQ) scenario, and how to develop a methodology for runtime semantics.
