AgenTalk is a coordination protocol description language for multiagent systems. In the distributed artificial intelligence area, many coordination protocols such as the contract net protocol have been proposed, and many application-specific protocols will be required as more software agents start to be built. AgenTalk allows coordination protocols to be defined incrementally and to be easily customized to suit application domains by incorporating an inheritance mechanism. AgenTalk is being co-developed by NTT Communication Science Laboratories and Ishida Laboratory , Department of Information Science, Kyoto University. The distribution of the AgenTalk software has been restricted to Japan.
