TuCSoN on Cloud: An Event-Driven Architecture for Embodied / Disembodied Coordination

  • Conference paper
Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing (ICA3PP 2013)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 8286))

Abstract

The next generation of computational systems is going to mix up pervasive scenarios with cloud computing, with both intelligent and non-intelligent agents working as the reference component abstractions. A uniform set of MAS abstractions expressive enough to deal with both embodied and disembodied computation is required, in particular when dealing with the complexity of interaction. Along this line, in this paper we define an event-driven coordination architecture, along with a coherent event model, and test it upon the TuCSoN model and technology for MAS coordination.
