Abstract
One step toward the realization of the CASCOM vision is the development of an intelligent agent-based peer-to-peer (IP2P) environment. IP2P environments are extensions to conventional P2P architectures with components for mobile and ad hoc computing, wireless communications, and a broad range of pervasive devices. Software agents will be a key technology to address the challenges of CASCOM as they offer an adequate abstraction for dealing with services from pervasive devices in IP2P environments. However, agents in wireless environments need support from the underlying architecture. For example, communication over wireless connection needs to be designed carefully. Further, the underlying agent platform shall be tailored to resource-constrained mobile devices.
