Abstract
In this paper, we propose a context-aware distributed protocol, that improves agents awareness of their abilities. Based on the agent’s context, the protocol allows the exploration of agent’s neighborhood in order to detect the new available actions, and validate the existing ones. When a change in agent’s abilities is detected, the new available actions will be added to the agent’s set of available actions, and the invalid ones will be removed. The protocol is implemented in Jason, and tested in a smart laboratory scenario.

Notes
- 1.
An actuator that is not available for an agent Ag, is considered not to belong to its neighborhood.
