Agent Model for Dynamically Changing Plan in π-Calculus

The authors propose a new model for the agent system and a new language. First, they develop a new model to use a new language developed for describing agent plans based on 7r-calculus, called PDL (Plan Description Language). The plans described in PDL can be changed dynamically while it is executing, because 7r-calculus provides dynamically changing structures. By using this property, agents can, in executing their plans, change those plans to adapt to the environment around them. This property is very important to agents, and is called reflection. Second, the authors implement a system. In order to do so, they propose a primitive language, called PiL (Pi-calculus Language). PiL is used on a computer more easily than the mathematical notations of 7r-calculus. Finally, they show, by using this system, that their proposition is very useful in a dynamically changing environment.
