Increasing the reliability of the communication channel between agents in a multi-agent environment based on Azure IoT services

Abstract

The object of the study is a system of data (message) delivery between agents in a multi-agent environment operating in real-time. The subject of the study is software and architectural mechanisms for guaranteeing data delivery between nodes. The purpose of the work is to increase the effectiveness of the data delivery channel between agents in a multi-agent environment by using architectural mechanisms to guarantee data delivery to each subscriber, as well as software tools that implement the "circuit breaker" pattern and allow restore the communication channel in case of its breaks, avoiding the transmission of redundant, irrelevant data.
