  1. Agent Architecture using EiA UofA

  2. Why is Everything “Alive”? • Pervasive Computing • Low cost / function • Decreasing size • Market demand • Unexplored potential http://www.intercorr.com/roach.htm UofA

  3. World of EiA UofA

  4. World of EiA UofA

  5. World of EiA Gentex Smartbeam An automatic headlight-brightness system UofA

  6. World of EiA http://adidas.com UofA

  7. Project Goals • Middleware enabled agent composition • E2 Reference Implementation • Bleeding Today • Refactor SUO system • Push agents into mainstream use UofA

  8. Description • Eclipse-2 (E2) core • XML described interfaces • Abilities added during run-time • Late binding to modules • Reuse existing modules (web services, Java applications, etc.) FOR MORE INFO... http://eia.sourceforge.net UofA

  9. Team/Resources • Fayetteville based • Strong faculty guidance • Dynamic student team • Open source • Software focus UofA

  10. Technology • Web Services, WSDL, & SOAP • Distributed components • Implementation irrelevant • Easily changed (interpreted and disjoint) • Human & machine readable • Skip UDDI, CORBA, & J2EE • Cuts out benefits of these technologies • Necessarily limits scope UofA

  11. Protégé Ontology Tool • Organize • Model in class / object instance style • Java extendable FOR MORE INFO... http://protege.stanford.edu UofA

  12. Current Status • Accomplishments • Pluggable core platform • Demo uses of E2 • Messaging, Persistence, API Encapsulation • Behind Schedule • SUO replacement • Web services tie • Delay Factors • Steep learning curve • No local experts • Broad scope • Student life UofA

  13. EiA Project Today UofA

  14. Work in Progress • E2 Platform Changes • SUO Replacement • MBNLI & Software Controllers • Simulation Subset Views • National Weather Service XML Feed Visualization • Dynamic GUI UofA

  15. Light Switch: Bright Idea <Demo E2 Plug-ins> UofA

  16. Light Switch: Toggle and Dim UofA

  17. Light Switch, Cont. UofA

  18. EiA Class Diagram UofA

  19. Aria (amigo) Robots UofA

  20. Aria Robots cont’d • Java & C++ API • Open Source Simulator • Port Robot Controller to E2 UofA

  21. Micro License Agent UofA

  22. SUO demo: World Agent UofA

  23. SUO demo: Initializing an agent UofA

  24. SUO demo: Publish/Subscribe UofA

  25. SUO demo: Levels of Ability UofA

  26. SUO demo: Messaging Views UofA

  27. SUO demo: Messaging Views UofA

  28. SUO demo: Alert Info UofA

  29. SUO demo: Alert Info UofA

  30. Competitive Analysis • Eclipse • Established open source project • Widely used • Stream lined plug-in process • Strong user and support base • EiA Strengths • Not limited to IDEs, or Java Classes • Flexible in GUI library, plug-in types and locations • EiA Weaknesses • Low budget • Newly established UofA

  31. Competitive Analysis, Cont. • E-commerce Automation • Dynamic & distributed prototype • Pinpoints a target audience • Agent cooperation & workflow help each other • EiA Strengths • Limitless scope • Automation capable • EiA Weaknesses • Limitless scope • Prototype does not implement brokers UofA

  32. Competitive Analysis, Cont. • Ultra*Log formerly Cougaar • Long running, well funded via DARPA • Leverages CORBA, message passing, and now XML interfaces • EiA Strengths • Minimal code base • EiA Weaknesses • Baby stages of deployment FOR MORE INFO... http://cougaar.org/ UofA

  33. Future Work • Fault Tolerance • Replica Management • Workflow Setup & Execution • Policy Management • Enclave Experiments • Dynamic Federations • Ontology Mediation UofA

  34. Related Documents • KIMAS ’05 Papers • E2 Plug-in Software Architecture • EiA Agent Architecture • Natural Language Service for Controlling Robots and Other Agents • Digital Rights • Evolving Multi-Agent and P2P Networks Using WSDL and SOAP FOR MORE INFO... http://csce.uark.edu/~cwt UofA
