Multi Agent Systems A Comparative Study of Intelligent Collaborating Agents’ Standards

Abstract

Aim of the project is to investigate different agent platforms, choosing an implementation method and developing an intelligent agent application prototype using the FIPA standard. The implementation is based on FIPA open source standards. The project investigates two methods of agent realization, using available solutions of FIPA and IBM Aglets. All the options are studied and their suitability for the project are evaluated and based on this study the best method (FIPA) is chosen for implementation. An electronic market place is selected for the implementation and a prototype is implemented using agent role modeling as the design method. Report to all the stages of the implementation is given. Discussion about the future work justifies the chosen implementation method, and lists some future work that could be done on the subject.
