Suppose one were creating a system that involved software agents. As its name suggests, SACP is just about as basic as you can get - no need to worry about comprehending or implementing complex agent communication mechanisms. By keeping the commands down to the minimum possible subset to still achieve meaningful communication, SACP is easy to use and to incorporate into your applications. While the protocol itself is basic, its functionality is extensive. Advanced functionality is also included in the SACP protocol.
Agents are able to query other agents, using an open query mechanism.
Query commands can also be used as a form of message passing, allowing agents to perform more complex communication acts if required. A full implementation of SACP for Java developers is already available. A rich class library, and documented API, allows you to plug SACP support straight into your applications. All Rights Reserved.
