The growing ubiquity and variety of personal connected computational devices -each with a number of sensors -has created the opportunity for a wide range of crowd-sourced services. A busy professional could find a restaurant to go to for a quick lunch based on information available from smartphones of other people already there. Sensors on diners' smartphones could detect whether their owners are eating, waiting to be seated, or even heading to a restaurant.Although the programming required for offering a new service of this sort is significant if done from scratch, we identify core communication mechanisms underlying such services, and implement them as part of a middleware, CSSWare. Service designers can then launch novel services over CSSWare by plugging in small pieces of service-specific code.This paper describes the multi-origin communication mechanism which we believe to underlie many crowdsourced services. It presents our design and prototype Actor-based implementation of CSSWare, a middleware for crowd-sourced services. We present source code for two realistic crowd-sourced services to illustrate the ease with which new services can be specified and launched. Finally, we present our experimental results demonstrating scalability, performance and data-contributor side energy efficiency of the approach.

“…We have implemented CyberOrgs by extending Actor Architecture [7] -a Java library and run-time system for supporting agents. In this implementation, every agent requires processor time resource to carry out its computation, and the resource is received by the agent from the cyberorg containing it.…”

This paper proposes an agent infrastructure (Theatre) centered onJava for distributed simulations over HLA/RTI. The architecture rests on actors (agents) as the basic building blocks. Actors have a public message interface and encapsulate a state of local variables and a behavior patterned as a finite state machine. Actors interact to one another by asynchronous message passing. At the system level, theatres are used as the execution platforms for actors. Theatres naturally map on to HLA federates. Actors can migrate between theatres for configuration or load-balancing concerns. The paper introduces Theatre and shows its application to a complex simulation model based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The case study is an open agent-based distributed model where mobile agents follow communication patterns established at runtime.
