Abstract

We propose a message-based communication protocol for software agents. An emphasis is placed on the problems of sharing and exchanging information through agent communication. We adopt the Resource Description Framework (RDF) schema for information modelling in business domain. The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) serialization is used to generate messages for agent communication. The use of XML and RDF enables software agents to understand the contents of messages correctly and consistently. We believe that the approach can provide a promising way to the automation of business processes through seamless communication among the partners.
