Lightweight FIPA Compliant Agent Platform on Java-enabled Mobile Phone for Ubiquitous Services

摘要

We discuss the design issues for lightweight and FIPA compliant agent platform for Java-enabled mobile phones and describe the project of developing such agent platform. This platform changes Java-enabled mobile phones to ubiquitous terminals by providing high-level communication mechanism. Combined with services specific to mobile phones such as the location service, it can be used for various ubiquitous applications, such as providing ITS information to pedestrians. In this paper, we present seven design issues in three categories, discuss our approaches to these issues and describe the detailed design and implementation of an experimental platform. We also show the remaining issues through the performance comparison with LEAP, another lightweight agent platform.
