Approach to Organizing the Functioning of Smart Elements in the Multi-Agent «Smart House» System

Abstract

A research was conducted to form an approach to the design and implementation of a multi-agent control system of smart elements for a “Smart house”. The system was built on the example of three intelligent robots. In the architecture of the system under development, the main part is the subject-independent multi-agent kernel, which includes the following basic components: direct access service, the messaging service, agent class library, agent community, ontology. It was found that the multi-agent approach using ontologies in the framework of this problem significantly exceeds traditional methods in efficiency. The experimental part includes a description of scenarios for organizing the functioning of smart elements in a multi-agent system. This system simulates the adaptive, remote and almost independent functioning of the intelligent objects of the “Smart House”. The developed scenarios have shown the feasibility of applying this approach for a wide class of objects, such as a "Smart house".
