A-Globe: Agent Platform with Inaccessibility and Mobility Support

At present several Java-based multi-agent platforms from different developers are available, but none of them fully supports agent mobility and communication inaccessibility. They are thus no suitable for experiments with real-world simulation. In this paper we describe architecture of newly developed agent platform A-globe. It is fast and lightweight platform with agent mobility support. Beside the functions common to most of agent platforms it provides the Geographical Information System service to user, so it can be used for experiments with environment simulation and communication inaccessibility.A-globe performance benchmarks compared against other agent platforms are also stated in this paper.
