The purpose of this paper is to propose and justify requirements for t
he design of a protocol suite for deploying and sharing Specific DSSs
both within and across organizations by utilizing the World Wide Web (
WWW) infrastructure and a client/server decomposition model. At the he
art of the model proposed for the protocol suite is an approach for in
ter-agent communication as adapted from the distributed artificial int
elligence literature. A modularized layered approach to protocol speci
fication, and three sample client interfaces derived from the protocol
are presented. Our approach is contrasted to alternative schemes for
decision model access across wide area networks.
