This paper explores the application of multiagent technology in ambient intelligence, particularly within domotic environments. It introduces a two-tier agent model consisting of Operative Semi-Agents (OSA) and Cooperative Semi-Agents (CSA) to effectively plan and execute activities among connected devices. The study addresses current limitations in JADE/LEAP platforms and proposes solutions to enhance inter-device communication and execution efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate the potential for improved planning algorithms while setting the stage for future evaluations in real-world scenarios.

Employing Agent Technologies • Protocols: • FIPA interactionprotocols • Ontologies: • RDF • Software platform: • JADE/LEAP
Technological Open Issues • JADE/LEAP is notfully appropriate to develop the whole system • The operative semi-agent of each device needs to run on the device • A JVM must run on each device, but computationally light devices cannot support JVM • A LEAP platform must run on each device, but inter-platform communication is supported only on TCP/IP protocol (and not, e.g., on Bluetooth) • The cooperative semi-agent of each device needs to move from the device to a platform with high computational capabilities • CSA’s classes need to be sent from the device to the platform by LEAP, but JVM for mobile devices does not support reflection • It is unreasonable that platforms have the classes of all the possible CSAs • As a result, JADE/LEAP must be improved to address such issues
