Package com.ibm.able.conversation Description

This package contains ABLE's conversation support subsystem.

Conversation support is built into the AblePlatformConversationAgent , which may be used as a base for further subclasses, or may be configured graphically using the AbleEditor. AblePlatformConversationAgent uses Java Agent Services for message transport (cf. package com.ibm.able.jas ). Instructions for running the "AMAB" example, in which two agents carry negotiate over a multi-attribute deal, may be found here .

[A detailed overview of conversation support in ABLE is in preparation, and will soon be available for preview on the Conversation Support Website .]
