Abstract

Agents are expected to use the MAS infrastructure in their interaction, but no work has been done on how agents learn of the sorrounding infrastructure. In this paper, we describe a discovery mechanism, that allows agents to rapidly track the changes in the infrastructure of their local networks in order to maintain a consistently high level of interoperation with other agents. In addition, we show how the discovery protocols can be extended over the Internet through a Peer-to-Peer connectivity model based on the Gnutella architecture to create Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communities.
