First, apologies for this slow response.  Many of us DAML-S team members have
been traveling (and when not traveling, swamped :-).

A full answer to this question is potentially quite large, and unfortunately,
there's not time to say much beyond the what's already on the release page:

http://www.daml.org/services/
and, in particular
http://www.daml.org/services/daml-s/2001/10/

I can only give a short answer: To me, the most obvious way to get started is
to describe and advertise each agent's capabilities using DAML-S.  Then other
agents find the capabilities (i.e., services) they need by using some sort of
matchmaking technique, such as has been described in some DAML-S related
papers.  (These papers are listed on http://www.daml.org/services/.)

I think that's pretty much answered on the web site.  However, I will add
that we are planning a new incremental release (0.7) within the next several
weeks, and another, more significant release (1.0) sometime later this year.
