Assuring Interoperability of Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems
Summary :
In order for the agent-based applications to be truly autonomous and decentralized, heterogeneous multi-agent systems themselves must communicate and interoperate with each other. To solve the problem, we take a two-step approach. First, message-level interoperability is realized by a gateway agent that interconnects heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Second, higher-level interoperation of conversations, which consist of bi-directional streams of messages, is achieved by dynamically negotiating the interaction protocols. We demonstrate the concept, technique and implementation of integrating multi-agent systems and show how the method improves the assurance of real-world applications in autonomous decentralized systems.
