Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language
Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language
(language, protocol, artificial intelligence)Work on KQML is led(?) by Tim Finin
The KQML message format and protocol can be used to interactwith an intelligent system, either by an application program, or by another intelligent system. KQML's"performatives" are operations that agents perform on eachother's knowledge and goal stores. Higher-levelinteractions such as contract nets and negotiation are builtusing these. KQML's "communication facilitators" coordinatethe interactions of other agents to support knowledge sharing.
Experimental prototype systems support concurrent engineering,intelligent design, intelligent planning, and scheduling.
