Does Cougaar support KQML, ACL, or other high-level knowledge representations?
Not directly — Cougaar is an architecture that uses Java-based message representation. The contents of the message are defined by pluggable Cougaar domain components. Cougaar includes domain support for planning and logistics, including a rich language of tasks, relationship schedules, and physical-asset property groups. Cougaar as a project has focused on highly-scalable architecture capibilities and pluggable component-based design. Compliance with standards-based APIs for high-level knowledge representations and domain specific languages has been a low priority. Please see the notes below on FIPA agent standards.
