		<project:description><![CDATA[<p>To realize the dream of truely ubiquitous information superhighway, it is necessary
for information to be available from mobile platforms. But along with that, with the increasing variation in the
capability of the different devices around us, efficient distribution of load is becoming very important to support
ubiquitous computation. This project aims at building an agent-based middleware addressing the different issues of
distributed computing in a mobile environment.</p>

<p>The project concentrates in developing a distributed Component based computation system using Ronin: a distributed
Agent development framework and XReggie: An XML based service matching system. The main goal of the project is to realize
the inherent limitations in a mobile computing environment and trying to address them. The system is developed on a
distributed agent based infrastructure and introduces the concept of distributed computation in an agent scenario. The main
idea behind the project is to effeciently utilize the resources available to a mobile device in its vicinity, whether it is
in the wired network or whether the mobile device is in a adhoc bluetooth type network. The project develops a middleware to effeci\
ently
discover services even without the knowledge of the discovery protocol being used, and manage the different software
components required to properly execute a task in such a distributed agent scenario. This project uses XReggie to address the
problem of interface matching to find services and uses XML based semantic matching primitives to discover services
dynamically. The Agent infrastructure takes care of task distribution and management. It also introduces a uniform
communication scheme between heteroggenous agents which further helps in the integration and interoperation of such agents.
The system can be easily extended to plug in different heterogenous agents and hence provides the facility of extending the
system to incorporate more intelligence and make more intelligent decisions. </p>]]></project:description>
