Beyond Distributed AI, Agent Teamwork in Ubiquitous Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent teamwork has been widely studied in the fields of Distributed AI. Much success has been achieved in defining agent teamwork theory to explain how agents should act together as a team and in developing programming frameworks to simulate team coordinations in software environment. With the advent of ubiquitous computing technology, agent teamwork research will be pushed to its limit, facing new challenges in an open environment with a higher degree of uncertainty. The objective of this paper is to raise some research issues that need to addressed in order to enable ubiquitous agents to engage in cooperative teamwork activities.

Distributed AI for Ambient Intelligence: Issues and Approaches
Research in many fields of AI, such as distributed planning and reasoning, agent teamwork and coalition formation, cooperative problem solving and action theory has advanced significantly over the last years, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective. In the light of the development towards ambient, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, this research will be tested under new, more deman...
متن کاملActive Documents Supporting Teamwork in a Ubiquitous Computing Environment
We present the notion of Active Documents as an approach for providing support for teamwork in ubiquitous computing environments. The main idea is that the document should actively participate in the work, and thereby be able to provide different kind of services. We present an architecture that consists of a Jinibased mobile agent platform and a context information infrastructure where Active ...
متن کاملA Ubiquitous Service Environment with Active Documents for Teamwork Support
We present a ubiquitous service environment for teamwork, supported by Active Documents. The environment consists of a physically dressed conference room and a software architecture based on Java and Jini. At the application level, mobile agent technology provide Active Documents that utilise context information and distributed resources to support users. We also present a prototype and prelimi...
متن کاملA Security Framework for Smart Ubiquitous Industrial Resources
Conventional approaches to manage and control security seem to have reached their limits in new complex environments. These environments are open, dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, self-managing, collaborative, international, nomadic, and ubiquitous. We are currently working on a middleware platform focused on the industrial needs, UBIWARE. UBIWARE integrates Ubiquitous Computing with Semant...
متن کاملA Framework for Distributed Activity Recognition in Ubiquitous Systems
The recognition of human activity has many important applications that rely on linking observed behaviour with particular actions. However, activity recognition systems are usually build for specific applications, and the used architectures and solutions are often not applicable in other problem domains. In contrast, we propose a generic component-based framework for activity recognition. The u...
