Agent Communication for Knowledge Based E-Market
Benjamin Grosof and Yannis Labrou
• Intelligent Agents in Web E-Commerce
• Sales agents
• Buyer agents• Billions/Trillions of agents
• automatically perform knowledge gathering, reasoning, economic optimisation and bidding.
• The world is XML
• structured detailed descriptions
• Open standards

Agent Communication and Semantic Web
• Agent Communication using a common language over the Web-wide scale
• Revolution of Internet:
• 1st generation: Internet
• 2nd generation: World Wide Web
• 3rd generation: Semantic Web
• "The Semantic Web approach proposes Languages for expressing info and relationships between info over time, they will accommodate formal system techniques for verification, inconsistency checking and reasoning." - W3C

The Hal 9000 Computer and the Vision of 2001: A Space odyssey
David G Stork
compare the film's computer science "visions" with current technological fact -- inparticular those related to its central character, the HAL 9000 computer, which couldspeak, reason, see, play chess, plan and express emotions.
In some domains reality has surpassed the vision in the film: computer chess, computerhardware, and graphics. In numerous others, reality has fallen far short: computerspeech, language, vision, lipreading, planning, and common sense. The film missedsome trends entirely: the film showed no laptops or PDAs, and HAL as large as a schoolbus but in reality computers instead got smaller.
David G. Stork is Chief Scientist at Ricoh Silicon Valley's California Research Centerand Consulting Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University.
His most recent books include HAL's Legacy: 2001's computer as dream and reality(MIT Press) and Pattern Classification (2nd ed.) by R. O. Duda, P. E. Hart and D. G.Stork Wiley). His documentary, 2001: HAL's Legacy, will be [was first] broadcast onPBS in April 2001.
