Abstract
For the development of distributed applications, it is required to define a formalization of the process of implementation. Particularly, we are interested in one type of Ambient Intelligence (AmI), the Smart Classroom. In this paper we propose the implementation of a Smart Classroom, called SaCI, using the concept of communities of agents. With this concept, we carry out the definition and implementation of sets of agents according to their roles, functionalities, characteristics, among others, in SaCI. Each community can be designed and implemented independently and later be integrated in SaCI. In this paper we present this approach and its implementation in SaCI.
