Generic Agent Architecture for Embedded Intelligent Systems

摘要

This paper takes a different point of view at agent architectures, an agent tool design one. Prom this point of view, a generic agent architecture for embedded real-time systems is designed. More precisely, this paper identifies three levels of genericity in agent architectures. Prom these levels, a generic agent architecture named CIPE is designed and presented. CIPE promotes reusability, maintainability and portability, thus helping to reduce system footprint and system readiness time. Then, a generic agent development environment named GEMAS is presented; its foundation of GEMAS rests on the CIPE architecture. Applications realised with CIPE and GEMAS are also presented. The paper concludes with a discussion on the concepts and realisations and their implications.
