This paper presents a real-time agent service layer (RT-ASL) that is built on CORBA, in order to use a high-level abstraction of software agents for ubiquitous computing. There are four important characteristics in designing RT-ASL: message passing communication mechanism for agent communications, agent service discovery mechanism, real-time agent communication language, and real-time generic scheduling interfaces. This paper clarifies the importance of such design decisions and their meanings in ubiquitous programming.
