Research and Implementation of Agent as a Service

Abstract

Cloud computing is a business model accessed by services and it integrates a variety of resources via specified methods through the internet, so it has excellent prospect. Agent technology has unmatched intelligence compared with other techniques, and have been widely used in various fields. To build Agent Cloud platform and provide it as a service is already a trend, but from IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) to AaaS (Agent as a Service), it requires a lot of heavy and difficult work. Nowadays Agent software system's development and deployment is still using the traditional technology solutions that is already unable to quickly adapt to various characteristics of cloud computing. Therefore this paper proposes ADT (Agent Development Toolkit) to overcome the technical problems and further achieve a smooth transition from IaaS to AaaS, in this way Agent cloud platform could be constructed fast.
