Design of activity component library in enterprise application integration with layered MAS
分层多agent应用集成框架中的动作组件库设计*

This paper proposed the designing and implementation named activity component library which could support implementing EAI with layered multi-agent structure. First, illustrated the reason that layered multi-agent structure could support process-oriented EAI. Then introduced the design of activity component library and how to integrate the instances of activity component to support agents at lower layer to finish specified goals. At last analyzed a scenario to show how activity component library could be used. In the layered structure, activity component library provided a unified interface for the agent at upper layer to coordinate the agent at lower layer. Then agents at lower layer could run at the same time and improved the efficiency of the system. Besides, the change of process at lower layer had less influence on the overall process of application integration. With activity components library of agents at lower layer, users could implement an extensible EAI application in an effective way.
