Class DiscServer

java.lang.Object
  com.agentfactory.cldc.p2pmts.DiscServer

public class DiscServer
extends java.lang.Object

When agents operate in a peer to peer manner in forming ad-hoc networks, discovery of the names of agents, addresses of agents, and addresses of agent platforms becomes an issue. The Discovery Server provides rudimentary yellow and white page services and has been designed to operate small scale devices. Agents in AFME can still avail of the standard large scale yellow and white page services of Agent Factory, but the discovery server is designed for use in situations when the entire multi-agent system (including supporting infrastructure) must operate on embedded devices.
