Scenario-based agent design

Application designers, such as non-computer professionals, cannot directly describe interaction by agent communication languages (e.g., KQML and FIPA ACL) for designing proper applied agents. To bridge the gap between agents and their social usage, Q language - a scenario description language for describing interaction among agents and users is emerging. In order to explore Q language´s capability in real agent environment, we applied it in the fields such as semantic information searching on the semantic web and agent-mediated negotiation in e-commerce.
