Architecture for Physically-Grounding Agents—Toward Mass-User Support in Ubiquitous Environment

抄録

We propose a new kind of architecture for physically-grounding agents that is an infrastructures for information services in ubiquitous environment. In the agent architecture, several kinds of agents work cooperatively, e.g., user-agent which serves as proxy of user, service agent, and spatio-temporal resource managing agent, by which software agents can trace users’ moving history, understand their intention and preference, and negotiate each other, with protecting users’ privacy using temporal identifiers. We also propose the concept of mass-user support and its example called mass-user navigation in theme park.
