Service-oriented and Agent-based Approach for the Development of InfoStation eLearning Intelligent System Architectures

The paper describes a generic service-oriented and agent-based approach for the development of eLearning intelligent system architectures providing mobile access to electronic services (eServices) and electronic content (eContent) for users equipped with wireless devices, via a set of infoStations deployed in key points around a University Campus. The approach adopts the ideas suggested by the MDA specification of OMG. The agent level and service level of the resultant system architecture are discussed in detail. A classification and models of supporting agents are presented as well.
