Agents were successfully used in artificial world, but nowadays scientists and researchers are applying agent systems in real tasks. Cooperation between agents can be achieved by means of blackboard architecture. Blackboard architecture is not a new technology, the first famous blackboard architecture Hearsay appeared about 30 years ago. Therefore blackboard architecture applications for real tasks must be overviewed. The paper is structurized as follows. First, some definitions are listed, then the benefits of the use of blackboard architecture are presented and some examples of blackboard architecture application for real task are given.
