sommario

The aim of this project is to accomplish the need for adaptivity and context-awareness in smart environment applications, combining agent-oriented programming with ontological reasoning. This concretises in the realization of Jason Semantically Aware (JaSA) agents, that will show their potentiality using JaCa-smart, an extension of the Jason-CArtAgO framework, to act in the Smart-M3 computational environment.
