Design of Directory Facilitator for Agent-Based Service Discovery in Ubiquitous Computing Environments

Multi-agent technologies are essential in realizing the upcoming ubiquitous environment. In the multi-agent environment, each agent has its own set of services and stores these services in the service repository of the multi-agent system. By using this repository, the user can retrieve the most appropriate service. In this paper, we propose an efficient service repository architecture that can improve the exiting agent-based service discovery. An advantage of the proposed architecture is that the user can obtain more suitable services than existing approaches about service discovery.
