    Discovery and Enactment of Declarative Interaction Protocols in Dynamically Open Settings

    We address the problem of enabling agents to interact flexibly in settings where protocols, participants, and the deployment context must be discovered at run time. Our approach synthesizes two complementary ideas: First, we leverage information protocols for flexible multi-agent interaction. Second, we adopt hypermediadriven interaction to decouple agents from their deployment context. Agents use hypermedia to discover protocol specifications and participants in-context. Once a suitable protocol is found, agents use metaprotocols for dynamic role binding, and hypermedia controls then guide the protocol enactment. We demonstrate our approach in a scenario where agents start from a single entry URI to join an open marketplace, discover available items, protocols, buyers, and sellers, and successfully enact a protocol for buying and selling items. This shows that integrating information protocols with hypermedia-driven interaction enables highly flexible multi-agent coordination in dynamically open settings, such as the Web.
