A Gateway Protocol Based on FIPA-ACL for the New Agent Platform PANGEA

  • Conference paper
Trends in Practical Applications of Agents and Multiagent Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 221))

Abstract

Communication is one of the cornerstones of the intelligent agents paradigm. There are different forms of communication between agents, just as there are many platforms for creating them. However, one of the problems we encountered when using the agent paradigm is the actual communication between platforms. That is, to have a gateway of communication between different types of agents regardless of the platform has been used to create them. To this end, a new way of communication between PANGEA and other multiagent platforms is presented in this paper. In this communication process the FIPA-ACL standards are used.
