Prototype of cloud-based agent framework for public use

Recently, "Agent-Oriented Computing" has been attracting attention as an approach to designing a system with high response capabilities. To develop and operate an agent system effectively, an agent framework is used. An agent system developed on DASH[1], a kind of agent framework, requires us to install the agent framework as an operating infrastructure and to operate DASH to benefit from an agent system. This work and preparation puts a heavy strain on users who are not familiar with DASH. Therefore, it is difficult for people to benefit from services provided by an agent system. For that reason, this study was conducted to find some means of supporting general users who are unfamiliar with DASH, but who want to use an agent system. To those people, we hope to provide agent system benefits easily.
