Policy-Driven Configuration and Management of Agent Based Distributed Systems

In this paper, we demonstrate a policy based approach for building and managing large scale agent based systems. We identify different classes of policies for agent based component integration. We also identify the system services and mechanisms that are required for policy based integration of components and their management. The utility of this approach is presented through case studies involving two applications making use the distributed event monitoring system that we have developed.
