Agent-to-Agent Interactions with NLIP and an application to AllyCat

Description
NLIP (Natural Language Interaction Protocol) is a project defining an interoperable protocol for user-to-agent and agent-to-agent natural language interactions. In this talk, Tom will describe the goals of the NLIP project and then demonstrate a proof of concept agent network built using NLIP. One of the agents is an AllyCat instance that has been modified by giving it an NLIP server. By adding NLIP to the AllyCat server, it is immediately available to Chat Clients and other Agents, making it part of an expanding network of agents.
