SOCIAL SEMANTICS FOR AGENT IN E-COMMERCE

Abstract

Obtaining a suitable formal semantics for agent in e-Commerce is important and the greatest challenges for multiagent systems in e-Commerce. The social semantics discussed in this paper dealt with the social construction of interpersonal communication, i.e., interaction within social context. We present formal semantics based on the social commitments for ACL primitives. This semantics is essential to the multiagent protocols in e-Commerce.
