FIPA compliant agent-based decentralized expert system

摘要

The paper presents the agent-oriented architecture of a decentralised expert system based on FIPA standard. Each agent in the framework can use its own knowledge representation and reasoning strategy, which makes the system flexible and extensible. Interoperability of heterogeneous agents is ensured via common communication protocols, as well as identification and location facilities provided by an agent platform. Realisation of the proposed architecture is based on JADE platform and its description concludes the work.
