Abstract :
In wireless environments, the communication should be tailored to provide an efficient use of scarce and fluctuating data communication resources. In this paper we consider software agent communication in these environments. We introduce a layered model of agent communication in the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) agent architecture context, and provide a performance analysis of the most important layers of this model.
