Resumo (PT): O documento descreve a linguagem de comunicação utilizada num ambiente multiagente de simulações ecológicas, centrada na aplicação de simulação EcoDynamo ligada a vários agentes inteligentes e aplicações de visualização, e alarga a definição inicial da linguagem. As acções e percepções dos agentes são traduzidos em mensagens trocadas com o simulador e com outros agentes. As definições de conceitos seguem a notação BNF (Backus et al. 1960) e foram inspiradas na Coach Unilang language (Reis and Lau 2002).

Abstract (EN): The document describes the communication language used in one multi-agent systems environment for ecological simulations, based on the EcoDynamo simulator application linked with several intelligent agents and visualisation applications and extends the initial definition of the language. The agents’ actions and perceptions are translated into messages exchanged with the simulator application and other agents. The concepts’ definitions used follow the BNF notation (Backus et al. 1960) and it’s inspired in the Coach Unilang language (Reis and Lau 2002).
