摘要

本論文目的是在OSGi環境下以分散式合作解題計畫及多重代理者架構建立智慧型居家服務代理者社群(intelligent home-service agent federation, IH-SAF)，此一聰穎式的智慧型環境可以讓各種不同類型的網路服務相互流通與分享，透過OSGi Framework部署社群中服務提供者所提供的各項服務，服務代理者也可以移動至用戶端並且動態地執行指定的任務。
IH-SAF以Jini技術實現社群中代理者的自動發覺與註冊管理能力；被授權的服務代理者可以移動至用戶端並且動態地執行指定的任務。在設計與實作時為了使服務代理者元件與代理者社群架構的開發過程能模組化並且在使用上能更具彈性，本系統利用統一塑模語言爲IH-SAF建立視覺化模型，以使用者觀點爲中心出發進行需求分析，建立使用案例模型；再以結構觀點、行爲觀點、實作觀點、部署觀點對IH-SAF進行分析與設計。
IH-SAF系統開發目標是嵌入式系統，系統具有微型程式的特色，可以動態移除無用的服務以減少裝置資源浪費，因此本系統適合嵌入小型移動裝置，作爲操控資訊家電的能力，並經由居家閘道的整合與連接達到區域網路與廣域網路之間的互相操控，可以建置無所不在的管理環境。

The objective of this research is to construct an intelligent home-service agent federation (IH-SAF) using a cooperative distributed problem solving (CDPS) plan and a multi-agent architecture Various types of service can be shared among federation members, and a specific service can be deployed from a remote site to a client site through an OSGi (open service gateway initiative) framework Then the service agent carrying the specific service executes the service dynamically by moving it to the client site.
In an IH-SAF architecture, the service agent federation hierarchy is designed with the pattern of the agent community, and the services are deployed from the federation's service providers through the OSGi framework An auto service discovery and auto registry ability are also implemented by using Jini technology for execution by the movement of the service agent For the purpose of making the design. deployment, and implementation more flexible and modular, a unified modeling language (UML) is used to build various models for the IH-SAF These models include a use-case diagram from the user's view and other diagrams from structural, behavioral, implementation, and deployment views.
The development of the IH-SAF is based on the need for an embedded system having the characteristics of a micro system which can start or remove the services dynamically to conserve device resources while the system is still running As a result, the IH-SAF is suitable for being embedded into small devices as an information appliance service Then the home services can be connected and integrated into the home gateway for interoperating among the other services, and a ubiquitous management environment can be constructed.
