Design of Adaptive Communication Mechanism for Ubiquitous Multiagent Platform

Abstract

Agent-oriented middleware with the ability of adaptation to dynamically changing environments is a promising direction for application developments in ubiquitous computing environments. In this paper, we propose an adaptive inter-platform communication mechanism which can select a communication scheme flexibly based on properties of inter-agent communications and situations of computational and network resources. We focus on a design of this mechanism in this paper.
