HI,

Without details on the required flows of information between agents it is difficult to give you sensible suggestions.
Anyway, among the possible options you could also consider topic-based communication. It is very efficient in delivering messages to agents that previously registered their interest in a given topic, while it is quite slow in managing topic subscriptions.

Bye,

Giovanni

Oggetto: [jade-develop] Communication between agents

Hi All,

I need a fast and intensive communication between agents that need to share large amount of information. The domain is in distributed multi-agent simulation; thus, I need network communication.

I have considered using blackboard pattern, such as a tuplespace implementation. The other option that I have considered is using a publish/subscribe infrastructure, in order to reduce the over-exchange of messages, but there is an associated computational cost in the server.

Any comments or suggestions will be highly appreciated,

Thanks
Pier Taranti
