摘要：

With the rapid growth of multi-agent systems (MAS), there is a pressing need to communicate between different MAS. Various MAS communication standards have been proposed. However, MAS is usually designed to meet special need, thus making it difficult to follow a standard. This paper presents a tool called AgentGateway trying to solve this problem using a simple, effective approach. The tool translates messages from one MAS to intermediate XML-based messages, which then are translated to messages for another MAS. AgentGateway is scalable, meaning that new MAS can easily join it. Furthermore, it provides transparent and reliable communication. A prototype is developed that shows communication between two MAS, namely, Java Agent Template Lite (JATLite) and OAA, can be done using this approach. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.
