Notes:
Well, Today, what Iím going to talk is about ìmatching conflicts : Functional validation of agents. ì The work was partially supported by AFOSR, NSF and
In most multiagent systems, A broker or matchmaker is used to identify and locate agent that can provide specific services. And basically These system use keywords or ontologies to specify the agentís service.
However, we think keywords and ontologies can not be defined precisely enough to make the brokering or matchmaking among agents sufficiently
robust in a truly distributed, heterogeneous , multiagent computing environments.
So matching conflicts exists between client agentsí requested functionality and a server agentís real functionality. So Iím going to talk about how we are trying to use a new form of interagent communication named ìfunctional validationî to solve this
