Abstract
The role of autonomic and intelligent agents in various environments is getting more important as demand on ubiquitous computing grows. The agents exchange information using the ACL (Agent Communication Language) to autonomously solve the problems. In this paper we propose a way of efficient interoperability technique between the agent framework built based on the international standard FIPA(Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) and the CORBA event service-based information bus adapter developed by us. The design and implementation of EMTI (Efficient Message Transport Interface) allowing communication between the information bus adapter which is non-agent platform and JADE platform are presented and its performance is evaluated by letting them exchange a large amount of messages.
