This paper describes recent developments of the Siebog agent middleware regarding performance. This middleware supports both server-side and client-side agents. Server side agents exist as EJB session beans on the JavaEE application server, while client-side agents exist as JavaScript Worker objects in the browser. Siebog employs enterprise technologies on the server side to provide automatic agent load-balancing and fault-tolerance. On the client side this distributed architecture relies on HTML5 and related standards to support smooth running on a wide variety of hardware and software platforms. Such architecture supports rather easy, reliable and efficient communication, interaction, and coexistence between numerous agents. With the automatic clustering and state persistence, Siebog can support thousands of server-side agents, as well as thousands of external devices hosting tens of client-side agents. Performed and presented experiments showed promising results for real life applications of our architecture.

“…For example, the Java Message Service makes it very easy to implement asynchronous inter-agent communication, without "reinventing the wheel." Recent developments have been focused on executing XJAF on top of computer clusters, providing high-availability of deployed multiagent applications [1].…”

“…On the server side, the main features of Siebog include scalability and fault-tolerance. Siebog automatically distributes agents among available cluster nodes, supporting large agent societies [1]. In addition, the internal state of each agent is replicated across the cluster.…”

This paper presents a new multiagent middleware named Siebog, made to provide high performance and platform independence for software agents. This framework was built by combining the features of the Radigost and XJAF agent frameworks. It provides an infrastructural support for both client-side and server-side agents. The clientside agents are written in JavaScript and can be executed on a wide variety of software and hardware platforms, including desktops, smartphones and tablets, and Smart TVs. The server-side agents, on the other hand, can harness the benefits of clustered environments, and rely on automated load-balancing and fault-tolerance for the uninterrupted delivery of services. The two sides of Siebog have been integrated in a way that enables cross-platform messaging, agent code sharing, and even heterogeneous agent mobility.
