Deploying Agents with the CORBA Component Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past few years, the Multi-agent systems (MAS) area has presented an accelerated growth. New techniques and tools are constantly being proposed and several methodologies have been published to support the development of MAS. Most of these methodologies concentrate on the system analysis phase, giving almost no support for MAS implementation. Since agents can be seen as sort of specialized distributed components, in this paper we propose an agent deployment model based on the CORBA Component Model. We also describe a case study to show the potential of an agent-based application development using this model.

Applying Reflective Middleware Techniques to Optimize a QoS-Enabled CORBA Component Model Implementation
Although existing CORBA specifications, such as Real-time CORBA and CORBA Messaging, address many end-to-end quality-of-service (QoS) properties, they do not define strategies for configuring these properties into applications flexibly, transparently, and adaptively. Therefore, application developers must make these configuration decisions manually and explicitly, which is tedious, error-prone,...

The deployment of high bandwidth wide-area networks has led computational grids to offer a very powerful computing resource. In particular, this inherently distributed resource is well-suited for multiphysics applications. To face the complexity of such applications, the software component technology appears to be a very adequate programming model. However, to take advantage of the computationa...

The increasing acceptance of CORBA for implementing distributed applications yields the opportunity of using this distributed object-oriented communication infrastructure for the management of these applications and the underlying systems as well. It is thus important to supply CORBAcompliant agents which enable the management of these systems in an e cient manner. Currently, this is not the ca...
