中文摘要：

随着多代理系统（MAS）的快速发展，不同MAS之间的通信变得尤为重要。MAS通常为了满足专门的需要而设计，因此MAS很难符合某一种标准。阐述了一种称为代理网关的工具，试图使用一种简单有效的方法解决上述问题。此工具先将来自一个MAS的消息转换成基于XML的中介消息，然后再转换成另一个MAS的消息。

英文摘要：

With the rapid growth development of multi-agent system, there is a pressing need for communieating between different MAS. However , MAS is usually designed to meet special need, thus making it difficult to follow a standard. This paper presents a tool called agent gateway, trying to solve this problem by using a simple and, effective approach. The tool translates messages from one MAS to intermediate XML-based message, which then are translated to messages for another MAS.
