A Communication System Architecture Based on Sharing Information to Integrate Components of Distributed Multi Agent Systems within an IT GRC Platform
To build complete and complex distributed platform, researchers are used to applying standards that facilitate sharing information as well as distributed service oriented architectures that provide reuse and interoperability by means of component integration. These concepts lead us to a communication system that will allow us to implement tools that give full support to the management of IT GRC processes, taking advantage of the synergy effect created by the integration of the different components. Thus, throughout this article we analyze the proposals from the most relevant consortia concerned with communication system standards. This analysis will demonstrate that the use of standardized middleware technologies can limit the reuse and interoperability. Then, we will show a proposal which tries to solve this shortfall, using a blackboard based architecture for integrating and communicating heterogeneous distributed components within an IT GRC platform.
