Abstract :
Based on the analysis of the main representative communication models for software agents, this paper proposes a new model and its corresponding open agent communication framework. Such a framework not only has a clear infrastructure, but also can support various types of cooperation among software agents. Furthermore, the extensibility and the reusability are emphasized in this framework
