Driven by the question how to identify potential communication
partners and the need for well-suited communication schemes in
agent-based systems, we discuss two communication concepts: sessions
and global event management. Sessions establish either actively or
passively a context for inter-agent interactions. Communication
partners are addressed by globally unique agent identifiers or via
badges. Communication in sessions is based on RPC or message
mechanisms. Global event management addresses the need for anonymous
communication. Event managers are employed as a synchronization
means within agent groups. Based on this approach, we introduce
synchronization objects, - active components that offer various
synchronization services. The presented model is finally mapped onto
OMG event services.
