A Multi-Agent Solution for the Deployment of Distributed Applications in Ambient Systems
Résumé
In this paper, we present a multi-agent solution for the configuration, deployment and monitoring of distributed applications in the context of Ambient Intelligence (AmI). We describe the use of goal-driven agents and show how the agent organisation allows for the privacy of the infrastructure resources to be enhanced. We illustrate the functioning of the resulting multi-agent system (MAS) through a video doorkeeper in a smart environment scenario, in which a distributed application is deployed several times in different contexts. The agents collaborate to find the right hardware entities in the environment, taking into account the context.
