MoviLog: A Platform for Prolog-Based Strong Mobile Agents on the WWW
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the wide availability of Java-based mobile agent platforms, mobile agent development is still recognized for being challenging and difficult. This is mainly caused by agents’ location awareness, which implies that developers have to provide code for taking decisions about mobility, in addition to code implementing traditional stationary behavior. In this article we describe MoviLog, a mobile agent platform for building Prolog-based mobile agents called Brainlets. MoviLog implements a novel mobility mechanism, reactive mobility by failure (RMF), that is able to automatically migrate Brainlets based on its resource needs. MoviLog has been implemented as an extension of JavaLog, a multi-paradigm language that integrates Java and Prolog. The article also reports on experimental results on the usage of MoviLog and comparisons with other platforms.

Reactive Mobility by Failure: When Fail Means Move
Mobile agent development is mainly supported by Java-based platforms and tools. However, the weak mobility model they use, the lack of adequate support for developing inference and reasoning mechanisms, added to the inherent complexity of building location-aware software, impose strong limitations for developing mobile intelligent agent systems. In this article we present MoviLog, a platform fo...
متن کاملSupporting Ontology-Based Semantic Matching of Web Services in MoviLog
The Web is moving towards the creation of a worldwide network of Web Services known as the Semantic Web. This new environment will allow agents to autonomously interact with Web information and services. This paper presents Apollo, an infrastructure which offers semantic matching and discovery capabilities to MoviLog, a platform for building mobile agents on the Semantic Web. Examples and exper...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...

متن کاملJavaLog: a framework-based integration of Java and Prolog for agent-oriented programming
Intelligent agent development has imposed new challenges on the necessary language support. Object-oriented languages have been proposed as an appropriate tool, although logic-oriented languages are more adequate for managing mental attitudes. Multi-paradigm languages supporting encapsulation of actions, hiding of private knowledge and 9exible manipulation of knowledge are, certainly, a good al...
