Abstract
Today’s complex distributed systems call for novel methods for modeling, design and implementation. The “active museum” being developed within the PEACH project is an example of such a system. In order to model the system, a new pattern called Implicit Organization was defined that supports the coordination requirements of the agents that compose the system. This pattern was applied within the PEACH museum’s visitor guide; its implementation is based on the “channeled multicast” capability offered by the LoudVoice infrastructure. The system analysis and design, reported in this paper, demonstrates the need and use of the Implicit Organization pattern. We discuss the planned implementation of PEACH using a general purpose environment that supports the development of such highly distributed and dynamic systemsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
