Abstract
We present in this paper our reflections about the requirements of new architectures and languages for the Web, confronted with the ones emerging from qualified scientists such as Mc Carthy [1] and Wegner [2]. The contribution highlights if and how these reflections may be concretely realized by means of extensions of non standard models and tools that we have already experimented and that appeared in previous papers (the STROBE model and Phi Calculus). We conclude with the preliminary specifications of a new language for modeling and programming Interactions, called C+C, that represents constructively our approach, privileging the communicational aspects among Autonomous Agents, with respect to the more traditional algorithmic ones.
