VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION PATH, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOPERATING WITH AGENT FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To materialize cooperation among agents by flexibly and dynamically constructing a virtual communication path for exchanging information corresponding to a request or service contents. SOLUTION: A policy relating the attributes and authorities of respective agents 100 on a network is distributed to the agents. Corresponding to the instruction of a security manager, a field connector 60 generates an internal field 210 and a role manager 30 applies the authority (role) corresponding to the attribute of each of agents to each of agents while utilizing attribute information from an attribute manager and constructs a role method table 70 and a role executing part 80. When a message is received from an external network, each of agents retrieves a relevant role while referring to the role method table and performs role execution. Through the exchange of message, the cooperation among agents through the virtual communication path is materialized.
