Abstract
The invention described herein is a mobile agent framework that can facilitate inter-device communication, interaction and learning within an IoT. The objective of the invention is to aid the realization of an IoT wherein devices forming the network can communicate and exchange data, information and programs (code) co-operatively and autonomously and eventually evolve and exhibit intelligence. The invention makes use of mobile agents to delegate the required services to the devices in order to co-exist symbiotically. Two types of mobile agents have been used in the invention viz. Search-for-Resource (SƒR) agent and Provide-a-Service (PaS) agent. The former is capable of searching and finding a resource or a free node or device capable of executing a required service. A mobile agent that carries the source code or a program or a set of rules or an application that can effect the desired service, as its payload, constitutes the PaS type. The invention considers a device to be in any of the following three states: (a) Free: The device in this state can engage itself in performing the services it is capable of, (b) Allocated: In this state the device has been allocated a service which it is capable of performing and (c) Execute: In this state the device executes the service related program or code or rules and completes the service request. After execution of the same it returns to the Free State. The invention also mentions how existing and new devices could host the MAF.
