An Agent Interaction Protocol for Ambient Intelligence
Résumé
We propose in this paper a model for agent-based devices enhanced with reasoning and interactive features. More precisely, we present an interaction protocol that enables agents to answer received messages, according not only to their functionalities, but also to their role in the interaction they are involved into. This interaction protocol aims at making it possible for agents associated to physical appliances to dialogue and compose their functionalities so as to respond to a user requirement without any prior knowledge about other agents.
