Abstract :
Despite the substantial number of multiagent systems that use an agent communication language, the dust has not yet settled over the ACL landscape. Although semantic specification issues have monopolized the debate, other important pragmatic issues must be resolved quickly if ACLs are to support the development of robust agent systems. We introduce some concepts useful in discussing agent communication languages and then compare and evaluate the two major ACLs
