摘要：A “Situation&Locationâ€? aware system has the main task of handling the set of distributed information and resources available within heterogeneous networks to provide a user with seamless and optimized network access to the desired service from any location. A suitable description of Situation&Location and its whole set of variables can be a powerful means to trade-off among user requirements, application constraints, and underlying network conditions. We propose a Multi Agent System able to capture the concept of Situation&Location and perform the task highlighted above. We follow a general-purpose approach with the aim of guaranteeing the highest versatility is possible. The main strength of our proposed system is its “adaptabilityâ€? that can be achieved without the use of either new terminals or novel technologies. The only requirement is the introduction of a middleware functionality into already existing terminals and into some network servers.
