A Web-Based Agent-Oriented Approach to Address Heterogeneity in Cooperative Embedded Systems
Résumé
This paper presents a MAS-oriented approach to enable emergence and execution of complex functionality among a fleet of heterogeneous connected objects. It relies on the Web of Things paradigm, in which such objects communicate using Web standards. In order to homogenize the objects and extend their capabilities, our approach is based on agents that can be deployed either on objects or in the cloud. Such agents can embody the object behaviors and perform negotiation to achieve collaborative functionalities.
