Context-Aware Agents - The 6Ws Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software agents have been designed and implemented to function within limited context-aware capabilities. For an agent to function correctly and efficiently it should contain sufficient knowledge and reasoning resources enabling them to process large quantities of implicit information conveyed through an explicit description. Presented in this position paper is an introduction of the 6Ws agent-based architecture which encompasses key reasoning capabilities which are not adequately supported by existing BDI frameworks but have been recognized as highly relevant for the development of Ambient Intelligent systems.

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
متن کاملUsing OWL in a Pervasive Computing Broker
Computing is moving toward a pervasive context-aware environment in which agents with limited resources will require external support to help them become context-aware. In this paper, we describe an agent based architecture called Context Broker Architecture (CoBrA) to help these agents to acquire, reason about and share context knowledge. A key component in our architecture is an explicit cont...
متن کاملAn ontology for context-aware pervasive computing environments
This document describes COBRA-ONT an ontology for supporting pervasive context-aware systems. COBRA-ONT, expressed in the Web Ontology Language OWL, is a collection of ontologies for describing places, agents, events and their associated properties in an intelligent meeting room domain. This ontology is developed as a part of the Context Broker Architecture (CoBrA), a broker-centric agent archi...
متن کاملContext-Aware Services based on Secure Mobile Agents
In this paper we introduce the concept of context-aware services as an extended form of locationbased services. We describe a new architecture for realizing context-aware services which has a number of key benefits. This architecture relays on mobile software agents as security-centric middleware. Our approach allows to combine disjunct databases by establishing applicationdependant links betwe...
