Abstract

Semantic Web technologies are part of multi-agent engineering, especially regarding knowledge base support. Recent advances in the field of logic for the semantic web enable a new range of applications. Among them, programming agents based on semantic rules is a promising field. In this paper we present a semantic agent model that allows SWRL programming of agents. Our approach, based on the extended finite state machine concept, results in a three layers architecture. We detail the architecture, the syntax of the rules , the agent interpreter cycle and present a prototype validating the concept. We present two distinguished features of our approach : behavior exchanges and consistency checking.
