An infrastructure for managing and controlling agent cooperation

This work presents an infrastructure for managing and controlling agents´ cooperation (IMCAC). The goal of IMCAC is to realize the distributed service integration over the Internet. Regarding providing service as the central task, IMCAC creates a transparent integration to make the easy use of every kind of service in heterogeneous, open and dynamic network environment. This work expatiates on IMCAC from three basic aspects: explicitness of semantics for information content, the core control mechanism of agent cooperation, and individualization for adjusting agent service. Then we discuss application of IMCAC by a test. The paper concludes that IMCAC will become integration mechanism of various agents cooperation techniques.
