Abstract :
During the proceeding of problem-solving there usually will be contradiction and confliction among agents because of the single agent´s capability and knowledge & the MAS´s goal and resource, the agents will coordinate, consult and standardize their actions through expressing their desire intension each other or carrying on a discussion, and these are all for completing the common goal. Cooperation is an important pattern of the interaction among agents. The agents in multi-agent system (MAS) need communication and cooperation for distributed problem-solving. In this paper, a detailed discussion about communication patterns and mechanisms among agents in MAS is made, and a distributed communication structural frame on the basis of CORBA is put off; the cooperation and consultation system; studies and researches the cooperation process under a kind of cooperation mechanism is recount.
