Integrating the GPP Agent Platform with JXTA

During the development of multiagent systems, the way agents communicate depends exclusively on the development platform of choice, each platform having its advantages and disadvantages. This work regards the integration of GPP, which is an agent development platform, and JXTA, which provides a network protocol, getting a peer-to-peer network architecture between the containers involved. To verify the performed integration, a multi-agent system was developed over the platform as study case regarding a Lego robot setting with webcam image display deployed on diverse hosts.
