Mozart/Oz is an advanced development platform for intelligent, distributed, powerful and highly functional applications, developed under the European ACCLAIM project. The platform at present lacks a tool for agent communications based on a standard such as ACL-FIPA or KQML. In this work, a tool for agent communication in Mozart/Oz based on KQML has been developed. The communication platform was designed, moreover, as a modular architecture that permits flexibility, high efficiency and inter-operability, which considerably enhances the extensibility of the system. In this paper, this architecture is presented, together with a comparative analysis against two of the most popular agent development platforms in Java, one of which uses KQML (JATLite) and the other, FIPA/ACL (JADE).
