WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Agents

Agents perform several functions. They connect adapters to the publish and subscribe applications. For example, the reader agent connects the reader adapter to the messaging service. They also act as controllers for the I/O environment and filters for tag information.

Agents for RFID are distributed as example code.

Reader Agents
Agents for each reader adapter, connecting the adapter to the messaging service. Reader agents are available as open source. As part of the open-sourcing, the reader API was subdivided into reader profiles, each representing a specific subset of the API to support a type of use case. Vendors are responsible to update and maintain their implementation of the API specific to their reader. See Device Kit for more information about these profiles.
I/O Agents
Agents for each I/O Adapter, connecting the adapter to the messaging service.
Portal Controller Agents
An agent that defines the possible states, transition triggers, and state/transition actions as a result of sensor inputs (timers are also supported). The product ships with the following options:
Filter Agents
Agents that filter and aggregate tag data before passing the data to the WebSphere Premises Server.
