In-Depth Information
a synonym for communications action, or refer to computing structure speech to
the messaging service.
ACL communication language specification is based on a precise form of
semantics. It gives a clear meaning to the communication action. In fact, this
formal base also added effective interactive communication. On this foundation,
the message parameters below are defined by describing the form of information
to be defined. Similarly, the norms agents used, such as information exchange
protocol is only a description of the operational semantics.
1. The agent requirement
Here introduces some pre-defined message types and protocols for agents.
However, not all messages require implementation of all agents. The following is
a list of minimum requirements for the FIPA ACL compatible agent:
(1) If agents receive message that they do not know or could not address the
content of the message, they send “not-understood”. The agents must receive
and address “not-understood” messages from other agents.
(2) The agents can choose to implement all the pre-defined type and source of
any protocols or a subset. The implementation of the information provided by
the action must be consistent to definition of semantics.
(3) The agent that uses the communication act defined in the article must be in
line with the definition.
(4) The agent can use the other definition of communication act this article did
not define. It has the responsibility to ensure that the agent understand the
meaning of action. But the agent should not define new matching with
standard actions.
(5) The agent will be able to correct grammatical form of good message and
generate consistent form of transmission. Similarly, the agent must also be
able to transfer the good form of grammar translated into a sequence of
characters related messages.
2. Message Structure
Figure 14.9 show the main elements of message.
