| Abstract | Messages are considered to be a primary means of communication between agents in multi-agent systems. Since multi-agent systems are used for a wide variety of applications, this also includes applications like simulation and calculation of computer generated graphics which need to employ a large number of messages or very large messages to exchange data. In addition, other applications target hardware which is resource constrained by either bandwidth or processing capacity. As a result, these applications have different requirements regarding their messages. This paper proposes a number of useful properties for agent messages and evaluates them with regard to various types of applications. Based on this evaluation a message format for Jadex called Jadex Binary is proposed, which emphasizes properties that are not traditionally the focus of agent message formats and compared them to some well-known formats based on those properties. |
