AgentGateway: 代理人溝通之工具

Abstract

本篇論文提出一個工具：AgentGateway用於不同agent systems的溝通，使得agents能夠使用其他multi-agent system (MAS)的agents所提供的服務與資訊。其優點有：(1)採用XML-based Agent Communication Language和communication interfaces的設計使得本工具容易擴充。(2)隱藏了溝通的細節，使得agent感覺不到其他系統的存在，因此不用更動multi-agent systems的架構。(3)藉由保存經由Agentgateway處理的訊息，使得訊息傳遞過程更可靠。

This research presents a new tool: AgentGateway for agent communication by allowing agents to use service and information provided by other agents in multi-agent systems. Its benefits are: 1) By using XML-based agent communication language and communication interfaces, the tool is easy to extend. 2) By hiding communication details, agents are not aware of other agents. Thus, the architecture of multi-agent system need not be changed. 3) By recording communication processing information, communication can be made reliable.
