  Abstract

Ubiquitous computing requires an intelligent environment where the users do not need to be involved in the operation. The agent technology allows effective implementation of ubiquitous system, while agent platform provides efficient and stable interaction between the agents. In this paper we propose a hierarchical P2P networking approach where the messages are combined inside the agent platform and then compressed in two levels. The proposed approach capitalizes the static nature of the messages of typical context-aware applications. Experiment with an actual multi-agent system reveals that the response time and throughput are significantly improved compared to the existing scheme.
