Abstract :
Embedded agents can be used as building blocks or components in the construction of an intelligent building. However, how to implement this idea in a distributed networking environment, remains a great challenge. We present a co-ordination framework for web-enabled embedded agents to optimize the dynamic allocation of resources and the mobility of services in an intelligent building environment to achieve real-time performance. This co-ordination framework is mobile-service based and composed of two parts: a triangle-link algorithm and a double-layer protocol. A case study is presented to show its implementation
