Interaction Protocols in Multi-Agent Systems based on Agent Petri Nets Model

this paper deals with the modeling of interaction between agents in Multi Agents System (MAS) based on Agent Petri Nets (APN). Our models are created based on communicating agents. Indeed, an agent initiating a conversation with other can specify the interaction protocol wishes to follow. The combination of APN and FIPA Protocols schemes leads to a set of deployment formal rules for points where model interaction can be successfully implemented. We introduce some models FIPA standard protocols. Keywords—Interaction; MAS; APN; Model; formalism; FIFA; Protocols.
