Abstract
An “Agent Platform” is a framework that supports and facilitates intelligent operations. In this study, we particularly address interoperability among agents situated in different agent platforms. This paper presents a proposal of a flexible interoperability mechanism among heterogeneous agents, which enables efficient development and maintenance processes of agent systems. Furthermore, we present results of experiments to underscore the effectiveness of the proposed method.
