Contents:
Ontologies for Interaction Protocols -- On the Impact of Ontological Commitment -- Agent to Agent Talk: “Nobody There?” Supporting Agents Linguistic Communication -- Ontology Translation by Ontology Merging and Automated Reasoning -- Collaborative Understanding of Distributed Ontologies in a Multiagent Framework: Experiments on Operational Issues -- Reconciling Implicit and Evolving Ontologies for Semantic Interoperability -- Query Processing in Ontology-Based Peer-to-Peer Systems -- Message Content Ontologies -- Incorporating Complex Mathematical Relations in Web-Portable Domain Ontologies -- The SOUPA Ontology for Pervasive Computing -- A UML Ontology and Derived Content Language for a Travel Booking Scenario -- Some Experiences with the Use of Ontologies in Deliberative Agents -- Location-Mediated Agent Coordination in Ubiquitous Computing -- An Ontology for Agent-Based Monitoring of Fulfillment Processes.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: The volume aims at providing a comprehensive review of the diverse efforts covering the gap existing between the two main perspectives on the topic of ontologies for multi-agent systems. On the one hand, there is the knowledge modelling perspective; i.e. how ontologies should be modelled and represented in order to be effectively used in agent systems. On the other hand, there is the agent perspective; what kind of capabilities should be exhibited by an agent in order to make use of ontological knowledge and to perform efficient reasoning with it. Theory and experiences are emphasized as the volume collects the most significant papers of the AAMAS 2002 and AAMAS 2003 workshop on ontologies for agent systems, and the EKAW 2002 workshop on ontologies for multi-agent systems.
