An Agent-Based Middleware for Cooperating Smart Objects

摘要: This paper proposes an agent-oriented and event-based framework for the development of cooperating smart objects. Smart objects are real life augmented with computing, communication, sensing/actuation storing functionalities. They building blocks future Internet Things (IoT) towards construction complex environments. In proposed framework, modelled as agents that can cooperate a multi-agent system to fulfill specific goals. The implementation relies on JADE middleware provides effective agent management communication infrastructure. particular, be implemented or Jadex through direct coordination based ACL message passing spatio-temporal decoupled topic-based publish/subscribe. A simple yet case study referring office environment constituted by two objects, is presented elucidate approach.
