5Employing Agent Technologies

• Protocols:• FIPA interaction protocols

• Ontologies:• RDF

• Software platform:• JADE/LEAP


Technological Open Issues

• JADE/LEAP is not fully appropriate to develop the whole system• The operative semi-agent of each device needs to

run on the device• A JVM must run on each device, but computationally light

devices cannot support JVM• A LEAP platform must run on each device, but inter-

platform communication is supported only on TCP/IP protocol (and not, e.g., on Bluetooth)

• The cooperative semi-agent of each device needs to move from the device to a platform with high computational capabilities

• CSA’s classes need to be sent from the device to the platform by LEAP, but JVM for mobile devices does not support reflection

• It is unreasonable that platforms have the classes of all the possible CSAs

• As a result, JADE/LEAP must be improved to address such issues

Conclusions and Future Works

• Our contributions• Development of a platform exploiting current

multiagent technologies for planning in Ambient Intelligence

• Stretching of current technologies to address mobile devices

• Promising experimental evaluation in simple case studies

• In future• We will experimentally evaluate our proposal in

concrete settings• We will improve efficiency in the planning algorithm
