“…The role of Siebog in these practical applications is possible and feasible and would be in providing a standards-compliant, platform-independent, and efficient [4] multiagent middleware. In addition, with the work presented in this paper, we intend to bring the more traditional agent applications to the web.…”

“…The goal of Siebog is to provide an infrastructure for reliable executing agents in web environments, but in accordance to the modern standards. It is built on our previous two systems, XJAF [6] and Radigost [4], in a way that it not only combines their individual functionalities, but it also adds new features on both server and client side. On the server side Siebog offers:…”

“…It efficiently combines the HTML5 and related web standards on the client side [3,4], and the Enterprise edition of Java (Java EE) on the server side [2,5,6], in an effort to bridge the gap between the agent technology and useful industry applications.…”

“…This enables Siebog to use tested and proven solutions implemented into the JavaEE application servers, having clustering, load-balancing, and safe-failover working out of box. Significant functionality and challenge of our architecture is that agents deployed in the Siebog can operate on clusters, being able to survive node failures and being able to serve numerous clients [2,4].…”

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.

Current standardization efforts of the Web of Things provide a unique opportunity to integrate technologies from the research domain of multiagent systems and the human‐computer interaction field that could take us closer to creating intuitively usable distributed artificial intelligence. In this paper, we discuss what bridges are missing between these largely detached research communities: we propose to use the Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State principle that is at the core of the Web architecture to underpin systems that integrate multiagent planning and acting with semantic technologies and with interoperable mixed reality interfaces. This should enable the creation of highly augmented environments in private as well as commercial and industrial environments where physical and digital things coexist and interact with one another.

A well studied problem in the engineering of open MASs is to enable uniform interaction among heterogeneous agents. However, AOSE as a field has grown to recognize that a MAS consists of more than only agents and thus should be designed on multiple dimensions (including the environment, organization etc.). The problem of enabling interaction among heterogeneous entities across dimensions is either not considered, or it is addressed in an ad hoc and non-uniform manner. In this chapter, we introduce a novel approach to use hypermedia as a general mechanism to support uniform interaction in MASs. The core idea is that agents use hypermedia to discover at runtime (i) other entities in a MAS (e.g., other agents, tools, organizations) and (ii) the means to interact with those entities (e.g., interaction protocols, APIs). This reduces coupling and enhances the scalability and evolvability of the MAS. We present a demonstrator that supports these claims. We believe that a hypermedia-based mechanism for uniform interaction in MASs could provide a foundation for engineering worldwide MASs.
