Abstract

Agentspace is an emerging environment resulting from process automation in the Internet and Web. It is supposed that autonomous software (mobile) agents provide the automation. The agents realize the goals delegated to them by their human masters. Interoperability is crucial to assure meaningful interaction, communication and cooperation between heterogeneous agents and services. In order to realize the goals, the agents must create, manage and reconfigure complex workflows. The presentation is focused on language layer of agentspace architecture.

The work was done within the framework of KBN project No. 7 T11C 040 20.
