Abstract

Agent protocols are difficult to specify, implement, share and reuse. In addition, there are not well developed tools or methodologies to do so. Current efforts are focused in creating protocol languages with which it is possible to have formal diagrammatic representations of protocols. What we propose is a framework to use ontology technology to specify protocols in order to make them shareable and reusable.
