A Conceptual and Computational Model for Knowledge-based Agents in ANDROID.
Fábio Sartori, Lorenza Manenti, Luca Grazioli · 2013
Abstract—Today ANDROID is the most popular mobile operating system in the world: the development of ANDROID, together with the performance improvement offered by modern PDAs, like smart-phones and tablets, has allowed many users to know new kinds of applications that were not accessible to them in the recent past. In this paper we present a framework for programming agents in the ANDROID world, based on the Knowledge Artifact notion to develop knowledge-based systems. This framework has been modeled as a client–server architecture, with the aim to show how the implementation of agents modeled on the basis of Knowledge Artifacts can help everyone to design, implement and use decision support systems for a specific domain, with many potential benefits in their day-byday activities. The framework application will be presented in a prototype to support operators of Italian Fire Corps and Civil Protection Department in critical situations, like geographically distributed fires and earthquakes management.
