Agent-to-agent communications is an important operation in multi-agent systems and their simulation. Given the data-centric nature of agent-simulations, direct agent-to-agent communication is generally an orthogonal operation to accessing shared data in the simulation. In distributed multi-agent-system simulations in particular, implementing direct agent-to-agent communication may impose serious performance degradation due to potentially large communication and synchronization overheads. In this paper, we propose an efficient agent-to-agent communication method in the context of optimistic distributed simulation of multi-agent systems. An implementation of the proposed method is demonstrated and quantitatively evaluated through its integration into the PDES-MAS simulation kernel.
