传统的异步消息传递系统（电子邮件系统等）缺乏许多高级功能，例如智能性、可控性、可伸缩性等，以实现有效和复杂的消息处理。为了补充这些功能，我们提出了一个灵活的异步消息传递系统（FAMES）。FAMES由自主和协作的软件代理组成。消息传递功能由代理的组织和通过消息流控制代理的协作行为提供的增强的消息传递服务组成。作者重点研究了FAMES中松耦合Agent的通信机制。该机制允许流量控制代理在没有紧密依赖性的情况下进行协作工作，例如由消息传递表示的名称特定通信。我们展示了如何松散耦合的流量控制代理合作，通过一个黑板。该系统的原型实现和所提出的功能进行了验证。
The traditional asynchronous messaging systems (e-mail systems etc.) lack many advanced features, e.g. intelligence, controllability, scalability etc. to accomplish effective and sophisticated message handling. To supplement these features, we propose a Flexible Asynchronous Messaging System (FAMES). FAMES consists of autonomous and collaborative software agents. The messaging functions are composed of an organization of agents, and enhanced messaging services which are provided through cooperative behavior of message flow control agents. The authors focus on the Communication Mechanism of Loose Coupled Agents in FAMES. The mechanism allows the flow control agents to do cooperative work without tight dependency, such as name specific communication represented by message passing. We show how the loose coupled flow control agents cooperate via a black board. A prototype of the system is implemented and the proposed functionalities are verified.
