Synergy between observations of AGN with GLAST and MAXI

Year 2005 will bring us the launch of two important missions
developed to observe celestial sources in the high energy regime.  
One is GLAST, the new satellite sensitive in the high energy 
gamma-ray band, proving an order of magnitude better sensitivity
than the very successful EGRET instrument, and thus capable of
monitoring the gamma-ray fluxes and spectra on shorter time scales
than previously possible.  The other is 
the all-sky X-ray monitor mission MAXI, which will provide us 
with X-ray variability data for many GLAST sources.   
This talk will present the anticipated results from simultaneous
observations of active galaxies, and in particular, of the
jet-dominated sub-class of AGN known as blazars.  Specifically,  it
will discuss the constraints on the structure and 
emission processes operating in blazars that can be derived with 
simultaneous gamma-ray and X-ray data.
