“…In this paper, we first map notions of agents to Proto's concepts of agents. Next, using the functional concepts and architectural paradigms laid out in the ASRM [27] and ASRA [23], we define the functional concepts supported by Proto-both the language and the compiler. Finally, we discuss some of the relevant virtual machine implementations of Proto and the open research challenges for developing Proto as a fully featured agent framework.…”

“…The Agent System Reference Model [27] (ASRM) defines functional concepts that are typical in agent frameworks. The Agent System Reference Architecture [23] (ASRA) builds on the ASRM by describing how these agents function within an agent community, or multi-agent system (MAS) and formalizes frameworks' architectural paradigms.…”

A key weakness of agent frameworks is the difficulty of specifying and controlling the global (emergent) behavior of the Multi-Agent System (MAS) in which they operate. The spatial computing language Proto, however, compiles descriptions of global behavior into local behaviors that interact to produce the specified emergent behavior. In this paper, we show how Proto can be used as a tool for construction of multi-agent systems, allowing the MAS designer to express the global behavior, while still creating a distributed solution. We compare and contrast Proto's functionality to that of existing agent frameworks, showing how Proto is a good candidate for the agent community's first viable agent framework for societies of agents.

Pervasive Service Composition (PSC) incorporates service composition and pervasive computing into managing user's everyday activities. A generic Reference Model of Pervasive Service Composition (PSC-RM) is needed for guiding PSC architecture design and implementation. To design PSC-RM, we first investigate and present a user's generic activity model. Then we analyze characteristics of PSC and envision PSC applications. Based on these applications we present requirements and initial design of PSC-RM.
