The Metaglue Software Agent System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The computational needs of the Intelligent Room – while not unique – were not satisfied by any pre-existing software systems or programming environments. We wanted the Intelligent Room’s software infrastructure to be persistent, robust, and dynamically reconfigurable. We needed the ability to modify (or even introduce) individual components without bringing the whole system down, and we wanted to have tools for understanding and debugging the behavior of large groups of interacting software agents.

Metaglue is an extension to the Java programming language that provides very high-level support for writing groups of small software agents that interact with one another. Metaglue was developed as part of the AI Lab’s Intelligent Room Project. The Intelligent Room has literally dozens of hardware and software components that run on a variety of networked workstations. We needed a system that c...
متن کاملExtending the Metaglue Multi - Agent System
Metaglue is a platform for the development and administration of distributed, interconnected computational elements. It is the development platform for the IT Artificial Intelligent Laboratory's applications in Hal and the Intelligent Room. This thesis extends Metaglue to make it more effective and robust. Metaglue now allows computational elements to dynamically reestablish their communication...
متن کاملMeeting the Computational Needs of Intelligent Environments: The Metaglue System
Intelligent Environments (IEs) have specific computational properties that generally distinguish them from other computational systems. They have large numbers of hardware and software components that need to be interconnected. Their infrastructures tend to be highly distributed, reflecting both the distributed nature of the real world and the IEs’ need for large amounts of computational power....
متن کاملBuilding the Software Infrastructure for Smart Classroom: From Open Agent Architecture (OAA) to Smart Platform
Smart Classroom is a Smart Space developed to enhance traditional tele-education practice. This paper describes the considerations of bringing forward Smart Platform as the software infrastructure of Smart Classroom system, abandoning the former implementation based on OAA. As a multiagent system for Smart Space, Smart Platform encompasses following features: spontaneous discovery of runtime en...
متن کاملDevelopment of the software infrastructure for a ubiquitous computing environment - the DSTO iRoom
This paper describes the development of a ubiquitous computing environment called the iRoom. Built from a foundation of the MIT Metaglue multi-agent software, a base level of functionality has been established in the iRoom. We discuss the research issues, applications currently under development, and a broader theme called iEcology of which we see iRoom as an instance. a
