The Agent communication model is based on blackboard architecture that comes from distributing problem solved in artificial intelligence. With the premises of five hypothesizes and the analysis of the targets or metrics of Agent communication, which are unicast, multicast, broadcast, anycast and requirements of communication security among Agents, the authors built Agent communication unit model, tree topology multi Agent communication model(TTMAS) and present an approach to making the communication between different MAS in unsecured internet environment. Then, with the discussion of communication language, which has different communication protocols, dissimilar content formats, varied ontology, different QoS for network and network security requirement, the authors offer a layer model for Agent communication language environment. At the same time, we give three future directions of our research, which are realizing mechanism of blackboard architecture in concrete computing environment, intelligent and dynamic config mechanism for distributed tree topology MAS and Agent communication protocols based on TTMAS. MAS is used in many fields.
