As the complexity of agent-based systems increases, the requirements placed on Agent Communication Languages have also increased. Currently-available ACLs focus on the domain of knowledge agents. Therefore, they lack certain facilities required for efficient information transfer, use of multimedia information, and security. Furthermore, information-gathering agents tend to execute extended, complex tasks, and require ACL support for task and conversation management, and flexible agent-level management and control. In this paper, we discuss the shortcomings of existing ACLs and provide solutions to address them. The proposed ACL architecture is based on the InfoSleuth TM system and related work.
