Intra-role Coordination Using Group Communication: A Preliminary Report

摘要: We propose group communication for agent coordination within ”active rooms” and other pervasive computing scenarios featuring strict real-time requirements, inherently unreliable communication, a large but continuously changing set of context-aware autonomous systems. Messages are exchanged over multicast channels, which may remind chat rooms in everybody hears everything being said. The issues that have to be faced (e.g., users’ preferences locations; performance constraints; redundancies sensors actuators; agents on mobile devices joining leaving) require the ability dynamically selecting ”best” providing service given context. Our approach is based idea implicit organization, refers all willing play role channel. An organization special form team with no explicit formation phase single involved. No middle required. A protocols, designed used negotiate policy, coordination. Preconditions effects these protocols formalized by means joint intention theory (JIT).
