多智能体系统中信使功能的设计和实现

Design and Realization of Messenger in the Multi-agent System Development Environment

针对多智能体系统集成开发环境需要实现智能体之间消息的透明传送，从而智能体开发者可以集中于智能体应用逻辑开发的目的，研究了负责智能体之间的通信以及实现智能体通信时同步的信使的主要功能。主要介绍了智能体对应信使间的链接方法、消息发送和接受技术、以及记录智能体之间通信消息的信箱的管理技术，并给出了设计实现的智能体通信应用程序接口函数的内容。

Multi-agent system development environment needs to implement the transparent transmission of the messages of the agents, so the agent developer can concentrate on the application logic of the agents.The paper researches the main function of the messenger which takes charge of the communication of the agents and synchronizes the communication of the agents.It mainly introduces the connection methods of the messengers ,the methods of sending and receiving message and the management methods of maibox which records all the communication messages of the agents.It also presents the applied programming interface usded by agents to transmit messages.
