Messages are considered to be a primary means of communication between agents in multi-agent systems. Since multi-agent systems are used for a wide variety of applications, it also includes applications like simulation and calculation of computer generated graphics which need to employ a large number of messages or very large messages. In addition, another set of applications target hardware which is resource constrained in either bandwidth or processing capacity. As a result, these applications have different requirements regarding their messages than other agent message formats. This paper proposes useful properties of agent messages and evaluates them with regard to different types of applications. Based on this evaluation a message format for Jadex called Jadex Binary is proposed which emphasizes properties which are not traditionally the focus of agent message formats and compare it to well-known formats based on those properties.
