JAVA Agent Platform A-globe ver 2.1
The A-globe is suitable for real-world simulations including both
static and mobile units (e.g. logistics, ad-hoc networking
simulation), where the core platform is extended by a set of
services provided by Geographical Information System (GIS) and
Environment Simulator (ES) agent. The main focus of the A-globe
developers has been paid to applications that are expected to
support primarily
- simulation, especially simulation of the multi-agent environment and
collective behavior of large communities
- scalability, high-number of fully fledged and fully
autonomous agents, that are loosely coupled with lightweight
infrastructure
- agent migration persistence and code and state
migration within the communication network as much as physical
reallocation of the computational host and thus modelling of
partial and non-permanent communication
inaccessibility.
A-globe platform is FIPA compliant on the ACL level while it doesn't support
FIPA specification for inter-platform communication. Interoperability is not necessary
for development of the closed systems, where no communication outside these systems is
required. For the large scale scenarios the interoperability also brings problems
with system performance (memory, communication speed, etc.).
