Abstract

Ambient Intelligence is an interesting research application area for Multi-Agent Systems. In this paper, we focus on the methodological support that the agent-oriented methodologies can provide to such kind of systems: in particular we present HomeManager, an application for the control of an intelligent home designed through SODA—an agent-oriented methodology. In this vision, the house is seen as an intelligent environment made of independent and distributed devices, each equipped with an agent to support the user’s goals and tasks.
