Computational Agents Descriptions in Description Logic
Roman Vaculín · 2005
Abstract. In this paper we present an ontology suitable for describing computational agents and computational multi-agent systems. The ontology is expressed in the description logic formalism and allows us to describe agents capabilities and to reason about them. The ontology describes agents from the communicational point of view. Further, the capabilities resulting from the built-in concept nodes architecture are described. Our target area is computational agents — encapsulating various neural networks, genetic algorithms, and similar methods — that are expected to solve problems of different nature within an environment of a hybrid computational multi-agent system. The agents ontology allows us to combine individual agents into schemes that can be either verified automatically, or even generated automatically.
