Implementation of the agent behaviors
The agent skills were implemented and tested as they were being developed. The
creation of agents, the association of their skills and deployments were carried out
via the graphic administration interface of PerSyst. After the deployment of agents,
verification tests for the smooth running of MAS, which makes up PerSyst, were
carried out by a simulation of data that should come from external applications.

Integration
The communication between the applications of the itinerary search service and
PerSyst goes via the
PersonalizeSystem
module. The
getPerSyst
function was
implemented for it to provide a reference of an object enabling the primitives of
PerSyst to be invoked via SOAP messages [NEW 03]. The data coming from
PerSyst are displayed on the Web pages of itinerary search service (see Figure
3.22). The
Request
primitive was used for the itinerary search to enable the user to
visualize his profile. The
Send
primitive was used to send the user's choice to
PerSyst and for modification of the user profile.
