Summary: TMT Factory aims to provide a personalized recommendation tool that brings city services closer to residents and tourists, by interconnecting service and content providers with locations and people. This tool focuses on providing ubiquitous access to services in a dynamic and changing environment, offering recommendations adapted to the user profiles and contexts. Interconnected service providers in a dynamic environment represent a highly complex scenario that Multi-Agent system design methodologies have been trying to address for a long time. The European project ALIVE presents a framework (based on a Model Driven Design approach) that tackles this issue adapting organisation and coordination techniques to service-oriented architectures. ALIVE provides support for “live” (highly dynamic) and open systems of services providing ease of maintenance by reorganising and adapting services.

Abstract: Interconnected service providers constitute a highly dynamic, complex, distributed environment. Multi-agent system design-methodologies have been try-ing to address this kind of environments for a long time. The European project ALIVE presents a framework of three interconnected levels that tackles this issue relying on organisation and coordination techniques, as well as on developments in the Web-services world. This paper presents initial results focused on a high-tech, real use case: interactive community displays with touristic information and services, dynamically personalized according to user preferences and local laws.
Keywords: Multi-agent systems, distributed computing, services oriented architectures, reorganisation, coordination.
