Agents in the small - Autonomous and Context-Aware Smart Tags

摘要

Pervasive Computing envisions a world populated with common objects, partly controlled by programs executing on their own embedded computers. Interestingly, these embedded computers should make our interaction with such objects easier rather than more complicated. This calls for using software technologies such as multi-agent systems, which promote autonomy, coordination and self-adaptation. In order to assess the feasibility and benefit of using multi-agent systems to implement interactions among simple and common objects, we have developed an augmented reality version of the Knights and Dragon game. We report on this experiment in this paper.
