Abstract

Grid and agent communities both develop concepts and mechanisms for open distributed systems, albeit from different perspectives. How to apply the agent technology in Grid infrastructure to facilitate distributed system integration (virtual organization formation) becomes an interest topic in recent years. In this paper, we investigate the issue and present an agent grid intelligent platform, called AGrIP, from the implementation point of view. AGrIP is based on the FIPA-compliant multi-agent environment MAGE and has four different layers, which apply the agent interface services for interaction and communication. It can integrate legacy systems and enables interoperability between distributed heterogeneous systems (organizations), expedite dissemination and retrieval of data, automate operator tasks and support the decision-making process. Up to date, it has been applied to several practice projects as the robust infrastructure. We will expound its recent application in Agent Grid Based City Emergency Inter-Act Project as an illustration.
