Abstract

Agent communication is currently a one-to-one communication, that is, a communication la Shannon from a sender to a receiver via a communication channel. Such approach is restrictive in the context of multiple agents interacting each other. In this paper, we propose to extend agent communication to multi-party communication, that is, communication with several agents. Each agent is able to react to the message even if it is not the addressee. We describe in this paper the communication server for multi-party communication.
