称为虚拟专用社区 (VPC) 的新协议交换框架使代理能够通过接受定义用于在代理之间共享应用程序处理的协议的策略包来动态交换和安装协议。代理的内部状态、状态转换规则和转换在 VPC 中彼此分离。协议被定义为状态转换的规则，而转换被定义为策略包。接受共同政策包的代理商形成“社区”。代理能够通过交换策略包加入社区，通过评估策略包动态安装协议，然后通过社区相互通信。本文还给出了将协议定义为策略包的示例。
A new framework for exchange of protocols, called the Virtual Private Community (VPC) enables agents to exchange and install protocols dynamically by accepting policy packages that define protocols for use in sharing the processing of applications among agents. The agent's inner state, state-transition rules, and transitions are separated from each other in the VPC. Protocols are defined as rules for state transitions and the transitions are defined as policy packages. Agents which accept common policy packages form 'communities'. Agents are able to join communities by exchanging policy packages, to dynamically install protocols by evaluating policy packages, and to then communicate with each other through the communities. This paper also gives an example of the definition of protocols as policy packages.
