Abstract
Today’s complex distributed systems call for novel methods for
modeling, design and implementation. The “active museum” being developed
within the PEACH project is an example of such a system. In order to model
the system, a new pattern called Implicit Organization was defined that
supports the coordination requirements of the agents that compose the system.
This pattern was applied within the PEACH museum’s visitor guide; its
implementation is based on the “channeled multicast” capability offered by the
LoudVoice infrastructure. The system analysis and design, reported in this
paper, demonstrates the need and use of the Implicit Organization pattern. We
discuss the planned implementation of PEACH using a general purpose
environment that supports the development of such highly distributed and
dynamic systems.
