This work introduces a reactive agent architecture based on the subsumption scheme incorporating communica-tion abilities as a basic behaviour block. The aim is to study and evaluate the emerging collective behaviours and the role of indirect communication in reactive agent societies situated in highly dynamic environments. A series of experiments are presented, focusing at the optimisation of the basic behaviours synthesis and the exploitation of the indirect communication in collectively performed tasks. The experiments are conducted with the simulation of swarm systems applied to a real-life scenario of the industrial segment.
