A Tool For Defining Agent Protocols In Hapn

This demonstration is exhibiting an interactive tool for defining agent protocols using a new notation "HAPN" which we have developed to overcome issues we have experienced with commonly used agent protocol notations such as AUML. The notation has a formal semantics which facilitates back end support within the tool for checking desirable or undesirable properties of a specification. The notation is an extension of hierarchical finite state machines and the tool is implemented in HTML5 and Javascript.
