MobiSoft: An Agent-Based Middleware for Social-Mobile Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an agent-based middleware for social-mobile applications, which has been developed as part of an ongoing linkage project. One aspect of the MobiSoft project is the vision of facilitating, augmenting, and promoting human social interaction by electronic personal assistants during face-to-face encounters. Possible areas of social mobile applications include the establishment of groups or communities based on shared interests or goals, the exchange of information such as personal profiles, news, private sales, or any kind of recommendations, and the preselection of possible communication partners in social networks. We outline the decentralized peer-to-peer based architecture and present techniques for information representation using semantically rich languages based on existing standards. We describe, how mobile agents are facilitated as user representatives and intelligent information carriers in mobile ad-hoc networks and present a first prototype of a social-mobile application.

متن کاملAn Agent-Based Middleware for Supporting Spontaneous Collaboration among Co-Located, Mobile, and not necessarily Known People*
Efficiency oriented activities require some people to collaborate in order to achieve better results. People, who don’t necessarily know to each other, need to be organized, communicated, and coordinated effectively to achieve a successful outcome. Today’s technological advances permit to set up a group of handheld and wireless devices as a network infrastructure for the development of applicat...
متن کاملDistributed Collaborations Using Network Mobile Agents
This paper describes a mobile agent-based approach for supporting coordination of user activities in distributed collaborations. The approach presented here uses XML to specify a collaboration plan in terms of various participants' roles, access rights based on roles, and the coordination actions to be executed when certain events occur. Using this plan an agent-based distributed middleware sys...

Distributed sensing in combination with wireless communication techniques and self-organising deployment approaches enable Wireless Sensors Networks (WSN) to play a crucial role in our daily life. An increasing number of dynamic sensing applications have been developed, and there is a growing demand for middleware to bridge the gap between these applications and a diverse range of underlying op...
متن کاملMobile Agent Technology for Enterprise Distributed Applications: An Overview and an Architectural Perspective
Mobile agents can be regarded as software components which can move from host to host to perform computations. Research over the past halfdecade has found the mobile agent paradigm to be useful for many applications. This paper aims to show the broad applicability of mobile agent technology in the enterprise, and to explore the implications of this broad applicability from an architectural pers...
