TLDR
This chapter discusses the desirable features of languages and protocols for communication among intelligent information agents and KQML is described and evaluated as an agent communication language relative to the desiderata.Abstract:
This chapter discusses the desirable features of languages and protocols for communication among intelligent information agents. These desiderata are divided into seven categories: form, content, semantics, implementation, networking, environment, and reliability. The Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language (KQML) is a new language and protocol for exchanging information and knowledge. This work is part of a larger effort, the ARPA Knowledge Sharing Effort, which is aimed at developing techniques and methodologies for building large-scale knowledge bases that are sharable and reusable. KQML is both a message format and a message-handling protocol to support run-time knowledge sharing among agents. KQML is described and evaluated as an agent communication language relative to the desiderata.read more

An agent-based approach for building complex software systems
TL;DR: This article will argue that analyzing, designing, and implementing complex software systems as a collection of interacting, autonomous agents (that is, as a multiagent system) affords software engineers a number of significant advantages over contemporary methods.

Speech Acts: An Essay in the Philosophy of Language
TL;DR: A theory of speech acts is proposed in this article. But it is not a theory of language, it is a theory about the structure of illocutionary speech acts and not of language.

Intention is choice with commitment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore principles governing the rational balance among an agent's beliefs, goals, actions, and intentions, and show how agents can avoid intending all the foreseen side-effects of what they actually intend.
