    Abstract:

    Agents in a Mobile Agent (MA) system must interact with each other using some kind of communication models to exchange data and coordinate their execution. Several communication models have been widely used in distributed systems as well as most MA systems. Typical models are Message Passing, Remote Procedure Call (RPC/RMI), and Distributed Event Handling. Communication between agents takes place by means of an Agent Communication Language (ACL). The essence of an ACL is to make agents understanding the purpose and meaning of their messages. In this paper, we will investigate these concepts and propose a new Agent-based communication model which offers a high level message passing facility and a logic-based ACL for mobile agent applications.
