A framework for mobile-service based co-ordination of embedded web agents in intelligent buildings

摘要

Embedded agents can be used as building blocks or components in the construction of an intelligent building. However, how to implement this idea in a distributed networking environment, remains a great challenge. We present a co-ordination framework for web-enabled embedded agents to optimize the dynamic allocation of resources and the mobility of services in an intelligent building environment to achieve real-time performance. This co-ordination framework is mobile-service based and composed of two parts: a triangle-link algorithm and a double-layer protocol. A case study is presented to show its implementation.
