Speech acts, electronic commerce, and KQML
نویسنده
چکیده
Speech act theory (the study of how utterances function as statements, questions, commands, etc.) is increasingly applicable to software design. Moore has found that the repertoire of speech acts used in electronic com-

Agent Communication Language for Automated Negotiation Online
Current research in automated negotiation is lack of a unified technical standard, which is an obstacle for the system to be applied practically. The existing standard KQML (Knowledge Query Manipulation Language) has obvious flaws in its semantics definition; moreover, its function is insufficient for describing negotiation. The contribution of the work is twofold. On one hand, it expands the s...
متن کاملSpeech Acts in Electronic Communication With Special Reference to KQML and ANSI X12
This paper examines the encoding of speech acts in KQML at length and in ANSI X12 briefly. KQML is a speech-act-based language developed with ARPA funding, and X12 is the American standard for electronic data interchange (EDI) message formats. I conclude that although speech act theory is highly relevant to electronic communication, the needs of computers are different from those of humans. Com...
متن کاملKQML+: An Extension of KQML in Order to Deal with Implicit Information and Social Relationships
On one hand agent-based applications require a well defined language in order to implement agent interaction protocols KQML or FIPA are proposed for that purpose. On the other hand, industry is actively working on "conversational interfaces" which will integrate an increasing number of features found in human conversations. We show that current agent communication languages cannot be used to de...
متن کاملMeta-Patterns for Electronic Commerce Transactions Based on FLBC
Due to the highly communicative character of electronic commerce transactions, open-edi representation languages such as FLBC, take the speech act (operator) as their basic building block. The advantage of this approach is that the `deep structure' of electronic commerce transactions is addressed rather than the form. In this paper, we try to reveal higher-level units of speech acts which are m...
متن کاملSemantics and Conversations for an Agent Communication Language
We address the issues of semantics and conversations for agent communication languages and the Knowledge Query Manipulation Language (KQML) in particular. Based on ideas from speech act theory, we present a semantic description for KQML that associates \cognitive" states of the agent with the use of the language's primitives (performatives). We have used this approach to describe the semantics ...
