title: A multi-agent system infrastructure for software component marketplace: an ontological perspective
abstract: In this paper, we introduce a multi-agent system architecture and an implemented prototype for a software component marketplace. We emphasize the ontological perspective by discussing ontology modeling for the component marketplace, UML extensions for ontology modeling, and the idea of ontology transfer which makes the multi-agent system adapt itself to dynamically changing ontologies
