A BDI Model for Component and Service-Based Systems: Self-OSGi

摘要

This paper proposes the adoption of the Belief, Desire, Intention (BDI) agent model for the construction of component & service-based software systems with Self-* properties. It examines component/service and agent technologies, and shows how to build a component & service-based framework with agent-like autonomous features. This paper illustrates the design of one such framework, SelfOSGi, built on Java technology from the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi). The use of the new framework is tested in a new test-bed designed to assess its ability to support Self-* software architectures.
