Abstract
In the paper, we present the agent communication standards that are implemented in the Rice simulation system for management and control of processes conducted in an electrical power network. The system models the power network using the multi-agent approach, with the agent communication flowing through a 4-layer communication protocol. We summarize the main features of the Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language (KQML) which is used as the system’ s content language. These features are then confronted with specific requirements of the area of electrical power network simulation and specific adaptations directed to system optimizations are described.
