Port-Based Adaptable Agent Architecture

چکیده
To facilitate the design of large-scale, self-adaptive systems, we have developed the Port-Based Adaptable Agent Architecture. This distributed, multiagent architecture allows systems to be created with the flexibility and modularity required for the rapid construction of software systems that analyze and dynamically modify themselves to improve performance. This architecture provides user-level access to the three forms of software adaptability: parametric fine tuning, algorithmic change, and code mobility. In this paper, we present the architecture, describe port-based agents, and outline several applications where this flexible architecture has proven useful.

Information Infrastructure for Sentient Spaces
Sentient Spaces is an environment that is concious of user patterns and not merely a highly responsive and intuitive appliance. Creating such an environment requires fusing a heterogenous network of physical and abstract information collectors, processors and actuators. Moreover, the underlying information infrastructure of such an environment must allow for adaptation both in integrating new i...

A generic broker agent architecture is introduced, designed in a principled manner using the compositional development method for multi-agent systems DESIRE. A flexible, easily adaptable agent architecture results in which, in addition, facilities have been integrated that provide automated support of the agents own maintenance. Therefore, the agent is not only easily adaptable, but it shows ad...

Self-adaptive control software is a new paradigm to create robust, fault-tolerant mobile robots. This type of software analyzes its performance and dynamically modifies itself to operate better in adverse and rapidly changing conditions. We have created two systems that facilitate the creation of self-adaptive control software: PB3A and RAVE. PB3A, the Port-Based Adaptable Agent Architecture, i...
متن کاملA Multi-Agent System for the Automation of a Port Container Terminal
This paper presents a system architecture which is based on the multi-agent system paradigm for solving complex problems. This architecture is applied to solve the port container terminal management problem, and specifically to solve the automatic container allocation. The multi-agent systems paradigm seems to fit this problem due to its inherent complexity. This work is part of a project for t...
