This paper describes essential service and ontology design considerations for a multi-agent system. We will establish a context of basic information sharing and discovery for a combat search and rescue vignette. FIPA protocols and the OWL-S Task Model will be presented along with the associated work flow processes for our range of service options. A Protege-based ontology will convey our semantic...
Electronic commerce mechanisms are mainly investigated in two independent research areas: service-oriented computing (SOC) and multi-agent systems. The former as a means to deliver electronic services of various granularity and the latter as a testbed of electronic negotiation mechanisms. However, both research areas heavily rely on each other. On the one hand, service-oriented architectures need...
