Fig. 2 has showed that the Agent among the present invention collects and gather the process of context information.Each Agent is responsible for administering all the sensors and the computer node itself in its place computer node certain area coverage.Transducer is gathered environmental information (as temperature, humidity or the like) without interruption, and sends to Agent place computer node.Agent receives these environmental informations, it is carried out certain processing, and be temporarily stored on the local computer nodes.Meanwhile, Agent is responsible for collecting control informations such as the load, QoS of its place computer node, is temporarily stored in this locality equally.The control information of environmental information and computer node self constitutes total context information.Agent sends to the intelligent scheduling server with temporary context information termly.By intelligent server gather, modeling, and carry out reasoning and scheduling.
In Fig. 3, described the intelligent scheduling server to context information gather, modeling, and the process of dispatching.The intelligent scheduling server Agent from each computer node termly receives context information in its compass of competency, and the context information that all Agent are provided gathers.The context information that gathers is with the form storage and the tissue of simple table.Then, the intelligent scheduling server uses ontology that the context information that gathers is packed and modeling, makes up standardized, as to be rich in a semantic information ontology model.When user's task requests arrived, the intelligent scheduling server carried out reasoning and deduction to the ontology model of context information, the best Agent set that selection can be finished the work.Here " best " is a comprehensive evaluation result, comprises the comprehensive expectation of the context information of service function, link-quality, load and environment of living in and linguistic context to the place node.And the Agent set of selecting at last often is not the minimum Agent set that can finish the work, but has considered such as failure condition and fault-tolerant processing such as node damages.Selected Agent set forms a self-organizing group that finishes the work, and finishes appointed task spontaneously, collaboratively, and final result of calculation is returned to user Agent.
Fig. 4 has shown the service issuing process that a new Web service (Web service 4 among the figure) interpolation is entered system.Service is at first with Web Serviees standard pack and structure.Then, this service is issued on some computer nodes in system, and this needs the process of a registration.That is, the Agent on the notice local computer nodes has new service to add, and allows the service distribution of the intelligent scheduling server update overall situation tabulate.This process is as follows: at first, serve the publisher registers information on services (step 1) from its issue to Agent; After local Agent receives register requirement, upgrade the local service situation tabulation that it is safeguarded, the details of new service are added come in (step 2); Then, this Agent sends register requirement to the intelligent scheduling server, and the service list after will upgrading sends to intelligent scheduling server (step 3); At last, the intelligent scheduling server upgrades the Web service tabulation (step 4) of this Agent place computer node in the system service distribution situation table that it is safeguarded.
Fig. 5 is a simple example of using of the present invention.The user proposes a task requests (step 1) that the bmp file is converted in batches to the jpeg file to the intelligent scheduling server.This task need be called 6 sub-Web services and finish (reading file service: rdbmp service, color gamut conversion service: rgb2ycc service, quantised samples service: down service, discrete cosine transform service: dct service, huffman coding service: huffman service and written document service: write service).After the intelligent scheduling server carries out reasoning to the ontology model of context information, 6 best Agent (being respectively Agent 1, Agent 2, Agent 3, Agent 4, Agent 5 and Agent 6) of this task have been selected to finish.Subsequently, the intelligent scheduling server sends the bmp file in this Agent set first Agent:Agent 1 (step 2); Agent 1 calls the Web service rdbmp (step 3,4) on its place computer node, and result of calculation is sent to the input (step 5) of next Agent:Agent 2 as its calculating; Agent 2 calls the Web service rgb2ycc (step 6,7) on its place computer node, then result of calculation is sent to next Agent ... said process carries out successively, to the last the jpeg file that Agent:Agent6 obtains converting behind the Web service write (step 18,19) that calls on its machine node.At last, Agent 6 returns the Agent to the user with this jpeg file.
Notice that the intelligent scheduling server only communicates with mutual with the Agent layer, and directly do not call the Web service on certain computer node.Agent on each node manages and calls the Web service on its place computer node, finishes its required function.
In addition, it is simple for what illustrate that this uses example, fault-tolerant processing do not taken into account.Selected Agent set only is the minimal set that can finish the work.In real system, the selected Agent set of dispatch server should be the superset (redundant Agent is as alternative Agent) of minimal set of can finishing the work, to consider the failure condition of computer node.
