This paper considers a distributed system of software agents who cooperate in helping their users to find services, provided by different agents. The agents need to ensure that th...
: Software agents are often employed in distributed environments to cope with the various dynamical dimensions of such systems. Furthermore, the paradigm of agent-oriented software...
Faced with the ongoing evolution of software agents from mere passive tools to e-tailers acting autonomously for their human owners (principals), new legal challenges appear on th...
In this paper, we present an architecture for software agents that enables them to learn vocabulary through the observation of each other bodies and actions. Besides sensors, effe...
This paper presents a framework for specifying Web services communities. A Web service is an accessible application that humans, software agents, and other applications in general ...
We investigate the semantics for Knowledge Query Manipulation Language KQML and we propose a semantic framework for the language. KQML is a language and a protocol to support comm...
Software agents help people with time consuming activities. One increasingly popular application for software agents is electronic commerce, namely having agents buy and sell good...
