“…Both domains share an approach based on SOA which enables to abstract the underlying technology behind a common concept: the service. Since then, a sustained research activity has attempted to formalise the mapping of GRID and MAS concepts [19,18]. This work opens new perspectives to specify immanent systems.…”

“…The wellknown MAS conceptual model Agent-Group-Role (AGR) emphasises on the characteristic of flexibility required for a self-organised organisation model [10]. Further to the suggestion for convergence between GRID and MAS concepts their integration has required an extensive effort with AGIL (Agent-GRID Integration Language) [19,18] to formalise the organisation and the interactions of distributed resources and agents and propose the service as a pivot concept. AGIL has been originally proposed in 2006 as an ontology [9], then has been developed more recently as a language.…”

This chapter focuses on the principle of immanence for autonomic eventbased distributed systems such as collaborative environments on the GRID. On one hand, GRID provides a sound infrastructure for coordinating distributed computing resources and Virtual Organisations (VO). On one other hand, immanence is a principle that emerges from the internal behaviour of complex systems such as social organisations. Although several existing VO models specify how to manage resources, security policies and communities of users, none of them has considered mechanisms that reflect the internal activity to constantly improve the overall system organisation. The AGORA model, proposed in 2004, has been integrated in an experimental collaborative environment platform. After several years of experimentation with communities of scientists from various domains, The AGORA architecture has been enhanced with a novel design approach for VO management. The model is a dynamic system in which the result of interactions are fed back into the system structure. The basic idea is to specify a set of mechanisms to catalyse the collective intelligence of active communities in order to enable a self-organisation of the collaborative environments.

“…Although, the integration of Grid SOA and MAS concepts has been proposed to enhance the potential of organising distributed resources and agents [10], this integration has required an extensive effort of formalisation with AGIL, the Agent-Grid Integration Language, that has been settled only a couple of years ago [6,16,15]. This formalisation has been used to abstract Grid and MAS concepts and develop new kind of architectures.…”

This position paper proposes to bring together the integration of Grid and MAS with the notion of immanence. On one hand, Grid is known to be an extraordinary infrastructure for coordinating distributed computing resources and Virtual Organisations (VOs). On one other hand MAS interest focusses on complex behaviour of systems of agents. Immanence is a principle that emerges from the internal behaviour of complex systems such as social organisations. Although several existing VO models specify how to manage resource, security policies and communities of users, none of them has considered to tackle the internal self-organisation aspect of the overall system. We propose Agora, a VO model integrated in an experimental collaborative environment platform. Its architecture adopts a novel design approach, modelled as a dynamic system in which the result of agent interactions are fed back into the system structure. Since the global behaviour of such a system emerges from its internal organisation, we place the immanence principle as the main Agora contribution for self-organising Grid VOs.

“…The agent-Grid integration project, described in [27,28,19], is build around concepts of agent and service. In the proposed model, artificial or human agents are engaged in exchange of services and, for shared access to resources, are composed into Virtual Organizations.…”

“…In terms of formalization of the model, this effort has first been modeled using a specially created diagram language called the Agent Grid Integration Language (AGIL); described in [27]. The AGIL language enables a graphical representation of an agent-Grid integrated system along with the relationships between its elements.…”

Keywords: Software agents, Grid, resource brokering and management, ontology, semantic information processing.One of the important claims that permeate current view of information management is that ontological demarcation of data and semantic information processing are going to allow to infuse "intelligence" into information systems. Separately, it is claimed that software agents, combined with ontologies will be the foundation of Web 4.0. In our work we are developing an agent-team-based resource management and brokering infrastructure for computational Grids. The proposed meta-level middleware is to utilize both software agents and ontologies. In this context, the aim of this chapter is twofold. First, we present an overview of found efforts to develop ontologies to be used in Grid and agent-Grid computing. Second, we analyze which one of them, if any, should be the base ontology for the system under development.
