In ubiquitous computing environments to use distributed services and devices efficiently the basic information should be provided about types or locations of services in advance. A process explores such information that meets a user's needs. We call it as service discovery which is the most primitive system in distributed mobile computing environment such as ubiquitous. It is a trend that use of a combination of developed agent technology and service discovery to manage efficiently and flexibly distributed services, devices, and users. A number of agent platforms have been developed by many academic institutes; however there exist problems about interoperability among agent platforms. FIPA suggest a discovery middleware module that provides to interoperate between agent platforms. In this paper, we developed the prototype of ontology based discovery middleware based on FIPA specification to facilitate sharing services between FIPA-OS, JADE, and SLP platforms. The domain reiteration of agent platforms can be occurred in ubiquitous environments. Therefore, a standard mediation is necessary to support compatibility. FIPA suggest a discovery middleware module that provides to resolve such problems (6). The current version of FIPA-OS agent platform based on FIPA specification does not provide the implementation of discovery middleware. In this paper, we present the prototype of ontology based discovery middleware to facilitate sharing services between heterogeneous agent platforms. The use of suggested discovery middleware make it possible to share a service of agent platforms and also to perform as following operations 'registration', 'deletion', and 'modification' between heterogeneous agent platforms. The rest of this paper is divided into three sections. In section 2, we introduce several agent platforms. In section 3, we describe discovery middleware and the design of our system architecture. Finally we discuss conclusion and future works. |
