Geo-Agents: Design and implement

Abstract

Geo-Agents, a multi-agent system that processes distributed geospatial information and geospatial service was presented. Firstly, the requirement for distributed geographical information process was discussed, and the architecture of Geo-Agents was introduced. Then in-depth discussions were raised on agent system implementation, such as the basic agent, agent advertising, message passing, and collaborating. An example was also given to explain the problem solving process.

Geographic Information System Based on Mobile Agent and Ontology

“…To locate and retrieve the right geographic information from the Network we have to create structures that help us in locating and retrieving that information. We can identify the need for creating different agents to locate the necessary information for the user and filter the retrieved information by identifying the user's necessities [12][13][14] .…”

“…The authors in Ref. [24][25][26] presented GeoAgent, which is a mobile agents system working in the geospatial information field in distributed networking environments (internet). This agent acts on the environments with different appearances, to realize intelligent acquirements, processing, storage, exploration, presentation and decision-making support for geospatial data.…”

“…This agent acts on the environments with different appearances, to realize intelligent acquirements, processing, storage, exploration, presentation and decision-making support for geospatial data. D. Li et al [24] presented an example of Geo-Agents (overlay operation). An overlay operation overlays two or more map-layers following some particular rules.…”
