Abstract

This paper proposes the adoption of the Belief, Desire, Intention (BDI) agent model for the construction of component & service-based software systems with Self-* properties. It examines component/service and agent technologies, and shows how to build a component & service-based framework with agent-like autonomous features. This paper illustrates the design of one such framework, Self- OSGi, built on Java technology from the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi). The use of the new framework is tested in a new test-bed designed to assess its ability to support Self-* software architectures.
