[[toc]] **[[Home]] * Protocols** A **Protocol** is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods|formal description]] of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital|digital]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_format|message formats]] and the rules for exchanging those [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message|messages]] in or between computing systems. A protocol describes the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax|syntax]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics|semantics]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization|synchronization]] of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication|communication]]. The nature of the communication, the actual [[Data|data]] exchanged and any state-dependent behaviors are defined by a protocol [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specification_%28technical_standard%29|specification]], the rules can be expressed by [[Algorithms|algorithms]] and data structures. =Computer Chess Protocols= The aim of computer chess protocols is to define a standard to let a chess engine communicate with a [[User Interface|user-]] or [[GUI|graphical user interfaces]] (GUI), including a game- or match controller to let engines play automatically on a computer, inside a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network|computer network]] or over the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet|internet]]. Chess engines, usually instantiated as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_process|child process]] of the GUI application, use [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_streams|standard streams]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_%28Unix%29|pipelines]] to receive and respond [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII|ASCII]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_%28computer_science%29|strings]] as messages. * [[Auto232]] (deprecated) * [[Chess Engine Communication Protocol]] as used by the [[XBoard]] or [[WinBoard]] [[GUI]] * [[icsdrone]] * [[TLCS-TLCV|TLCS/TLCV]] ([[Web Broadcast]]) * [[UCI|Universal Chess Interface]] (UCI) =See also= * [[Chess Server]] * [[GUI]] * [[InBetween]] * [[Web Broadcast]] =Publications= * [[http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/pers/hd/k/Koning:Jean=Luc.html|Jean-Luc Koning]], [[Marc-Philippe Huget]] (**2000**). //A Semi-Formal Specification Language Dedicated to Interaction Protocols//.
