摘要
Agent dialogue and interaction protocols are important in achieving intelligent collective behavior from a set of heterogeneous agents in real-time computer systems. The characteristics of such agents are analyzed and classified into several generic classes. A bulletin board model is proposed as a flexible paradigm for supporting the coexistence of disparate agents and for investigating agent interaction mechanisms. A set of protocols for agent dialogue and interaction is suggested. The analysis places a strong emphasis on the timing properties of such protocols and on the need to satisfy temporal constraints in real-time environments.
