“…Introducing further formalization of the messaging process especially among brokers attempting to resolve uncompared trades is really the only practicable way to effect deeper computerization and with it greater speed in this process. Further, given that further formalization will occur, use of a well-designed, general-purpose FLBC, as discussed here and in (Kimbrough and Thornburg, 1989, and Kimbrough and Moore, 1992,1993, has much to recommend it, as the following points will indicate.…”

The increased use of network communications within industries, and among firms, suppliers, and customers, is focusing greater attention on the methods and standards for interorganizational communications. In the securities indushy, the settlement and clearing of trades depends on numerous messages to be sent and received by several organizations. Using the principles of Formal Languages for Business Communication W B C ) , we develop a message representation fhat is flexible and selfdescribing, and show how defeasible reasoning applied to settlement messages could handle problem trades. This application of FLBC ofers advantages through machine-to-machine error reconcilement, integration with other market communications systems, and robustness to changes in securities design and regulation.

We develop a conceptual and formal understanding of syntax, semantics and pragmatics in communication from the point of view of (theoretical) computer science as well as (computational) linguistics. We motivate our understanding with the help of a real-world application scenario, apply it to a concrete example related to (business) dialogues in service oriented landscapes and finally point out how our results are related to the Semantic Web ecosystem in a way that is providing basic concepts for an emerging Pragmatic Web.

“…These requirements are rigorous, and in our view essentially mandate use of a recursivelydefined formal language. For the sake of expressive power, such an FLBC would have to employ quantification, various sentential operators (boolean operators certainly but also modal operators, temporal operators, and deontic operators), propositional attitude operators (e.g., those required by speech act theory, such as asserts, promises, requests, questions, and declares [35,33]), and defeasible assertion and implication [31]. The requirements for a general MMS are also extensive.…”

This paper motivates the need for system-level message management software. It begins by considering information flows in the workplace as a source of potential gains in efficiency. We next investigate work-flow automation and electronic data interchange (EDI) as indicative of current technologies applied to work processes and message management. Having described current technology and our vision of work processes, we propose an alternative, general-purpose, software technology for supporting application-to-application communication. Problems of EDI, of process-to-process communication, and of describing information items are discussed in terms of the communication problems they present. We then justify the need for this kind of software and layout the criteria (or plausibility conditions) for evaluating a proposal for this sort of system software. The use of a formal communication language is proposed as a common solution to these problems. This proposal is examined in the context of the EDI problem, in order to demonstrate how the proposal might work in practice. Practical benefits of the proposal are discussed that highlight the impact such a technology might have on business practices. The proposed solution is measured against the plausibility conditions presented earlier in the paper; it is found to be sufficient in some cases and in need of further investigation in others. We then discuss the industrial-organizational implications of the availability of such a technology, and hypothesize that it would affect the number and form of cooperative business relationships as well as their scope and depth. We also hypothesize that it would provide advantages to those firms that quickly adopt the technology.
