Abstract

Service directories provide basic functionalities for service discovery and service announcement in Multiagent Systems (MAS). A manual configuration of distributed MAS and their service directories is a time consuming and complex task and thus an automatic mechanism is highly desirable. Furthermore, the requirement for a fast response and processing time for agent queries still remains. Existing approaches do not fulfill these requirements in a satisfactory way. Thus, a new approach based on multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) was developed and implemented for the multiagent framework JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment Framework). The architecture enables the automatic configuration of agent platforms in dynamic local networks as well as the later federation of the service directories which is necessary for a distributed service discovery operation.
