Abstract
The services realized within the CHIL project are implemented by a set of collaborative software agents communicating with each other on a semantic level. In order to ensure this collaboration as well as a scalable service composition, coordination, and configuration, an agent framework and infrastructure was designed. A special feature of the CHIL agent infrastructure is the “pluggable behaviors” mechanism. This concept allows implementing service-specific code in agent behaviors, which will be plugged into the agents. It keeps the agent free from service functionality and enables a service-oriented scalable configuration.
