Deliverable 3.4

UBIWARE deliverable D3.3 presented the integrated development results from all the work packages, i.e. the current state of the UBIWARE 3.0 platform prototype. Current deliverable D3.4 follows up and brings a platform update – UBIWARE 3.1. New version of the platform went through significant changes. The most important of them is the new architecture that follows cloud computing paradigm. Other changes include performance improvements and new features. This report can be understood as a “changelog” between platform version 3.0 and 3.1.

Firstly, we bring a new agent classification system that simplifies the management and policy control of agents. In the new version of the platform there are four types (classes) of agents. Each agent class is being started differently, has different rights (controlled by policies) and different tasks associated with it.

Secondly, the new agent classification enabled new platform architecture. The platform infrastructure reported in deliverable D3.3 has been extended and improved. Now, the platform contains seven platform infrastructure agents, each supporting one type of platform functionality. The report also contains information about new packaging system for UBIWARE applications.

Moreover, we developed two new web applications supporting the platform administration. First application is used for user management and the second one is used for management of UBIWARE applications. And finally, we create several new Reusable Atomic Behaviors (RABs) and several libraries that simplify UBIWARE application development.
