OWL-Based Description for Agent Interaction

The World Wide Web (WWW) has gained wide acceptance partially owing to the ease of writing web pages. Further, the semantic Web facilitates composing Web services in the form of Web ontology language for service (OWLS). However, OWLS requires assistance from agent for automatic discovery, composition, and invocation. This work presents an agent interaction description, based on Web ontology language (OWL), to confine agent communication within the foundation of intelligent and physical agents (FIPA) protocol. The description achieves dynamic OWLS service invocation and improves maintainability of agent program.
