Abstract
The evolution of the Web towards a semantically-enriched information space has risen several challenges and opportunities concerning the interaction, knowledge representation, and design of multi-agent systems. Many of these have been explored in the past, such as the usage of ontologies for defining agent knowledge bases, the definition of semantic web services, or the usage of reasoning for intelligent agent behavior. Although these efforts have resulted in important research achievements, there is still a need to provide a simple –yet comprehensive– way of interconnecting decentralized intelligent agents through a generic Web-based infrastructure. In this paper we analyze how multi-agent systems can use extensions of the Linked Data Notifications W3C recommendation as the backbone for a Semantic Web-enabled infrastructure for agent communication.
