Building the Software Infrastructure for Smart Classroom: From Open Agent Architecture (OAA) to Smart Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
Smart Classroom is a Smart Space developed to enhance traditional tele-education practice. This paper describes the considerations of bringing forward Smart Platform as the software infrastructure of Smart Classroom system, abandoning the former implementation based on OAA. As a multiagent system for Smart Space, Smart Platform encompasses following features: spontaneous discovery of runtime environment, automatic management and resolving of agent dependencies, combination of delegated communication and peer-to-peer communication, etc. In addition, a surrogate agent on Smart Platform and Metaglue from MIT is now being developed to inter-connect Smart Classroom with MIT’s Intelligent Room to extend their functionality.

A Multi-agent Software Platform Accommodating Location-Awareness for Smart Space
Software Platform is a middleware component of Smart Space to coordinate and manage all modules. Location-awareness is a common feature of many modules. Current several typical methods for distributed systems can hardly be competent for both the role of Software Platform and accommodating locationawareness simultaneously. Aiming at this, we present our method: SLAP (Smart Location-awareness-Acc...
