Agent-based Architecture in An Ambient Intelligence Context

This paper provides an insight on the special requirements of accessibility content and services in an ambient intelligence context and proposes an agent-based approach into a more general service oriented architecture for addressing them. It is based on previous approaches for agent-based information systems regarding infomobility services adding the mobility impaired people special requirements. The result is an architecture with multiple agents on the user's nomad device that address the ambient intelligence issue and a family of dedicated personal assistance agents to each type of mobility impairment whose deliberation provides the best solutions for people that have a combination of impairments. In this paper we pay a particular attention on the task of integrating the multi-agent system in the overall architecture.
