Abstract :
Unfortunately heterogeneous multi-agent systems use the different language to describe agents and services provided by agents. For example, there are Java agent development framework (JADE) and component-based autonomic layered middleware (CALM). The JADE uses agent communication language (ACL) and semantic language (SL) proposed by FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents). The ACL is a language to communicate between agents. And the SL is a language to specify the service description in ACL. However the CALM uses ACL and XML respectively. Due to the reasons, the multi-agent systems cannot communicate with each other. Therefore we propose a communication system with the translation engine to solve the problems.
