K-ACE: An Innovative Multi-Component and Multi-Level Architecture

My research work concerns Intelligent Software Agents and their applications to "Cyber-Physical Systems" (CPS), i.e. computer systems able to operate and to interact actively with the environment in which they are situated. In CPSs, several components and subsystems interact among themselves, with human users and with the physical environment, and employ forms of intelligent reasoning. Myself and my research group propose a new multi-component multi-level architecture called K-ACE, which provides a high degree of flexibility in the system's definition.
