Abstract
Understanding the relation between multiple agents is very important in developing a multi-agent system. Two concepts, multi-agent system architecture and multi-agent system architecture prototype are brought forward, and the method of descrbing the relation between agents using the concepts is explored. The structure and components are designed. Based on the fact that cooperation between distributed agents is erratic, a controlled natural language communication function is designed and realized. Applying the offered interfaces, the user’s workload consumed in agent communication and management is reduced, and at the same time, robustness of the multi-agent system is improved.
