Abstract—In this paper, we review the research findings in agent communication language (ACL). We then propose our model to develop an agent communication language based on the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) Stan-dards. The use of communicative acts enables agents to recog-nize the intent of the requesting agents for a specific service. The ACL handles the semantics of information exchanged between agents by the use of ontologies defined for the domain as specified by FIPA. We test the communication language in a collaborative process involving three agents. Keywords-software agents; agent communication language; collaborative work; ontology. I.
