In this work, we review several scenarios to define a multi-agent architecture that support the information needs of these new technologies, for heterogeneous domain. Our contribution consists of designing in a methodological way a Context Aware System (involving location services) using agents that can be used in very different domains. We describe all the steps followed in the design of the agent system. We apply a hybridizing methodology between GAIA and AUML. Additionally we propose a way to compare different agent architectures for Context Aware System using agent interactions. So, in this paper, we describe the assignment of weight values to agents interaction in two different MAS architectures for Context Aware problems solving different scenarios inspired in FIPA standard negotiation protocols.18application/pdfeng© 2012 Elsevier LtdMulti-agentContext AwareUbiquitous ComputingAmbient intelligenceLocationMethodological design and comparative evaluation of a MAS providing AmIresearch articleInformática10.1016/j.eswa.2012.02.170open access106561210673Expert systems with applications39AR/0000010133
