Title
A KQML-CORBA based architecture for intelligent agents communication in cooperative service and network management
Abstract
Networks and Services management solutions are now moving from centralised platforms to distributed approaches. In order to re ach a higher level of scalability and flexibility, an attractive solution can be base d on cooperative intelligent agents. This raises new requirements for communication betw een management entities, as it implies not only exchange of pure management inf ormation but also exchange of cooperation messages or code. After analysing these communication requirements, t his paper outlines the need for a communication language able to support all the ty pes of interaction between the agents. As a candidate, KQML is then presented. Its powerful semantic characteristics made us believe it is a suitable su pport for the communication between management intelligent agents. An implementation of KQML on CORBA leads to define a complete communication layer arch itecture that can support cooperation in a multi-agents management platform.
