Abstract :
Under the situation of m-learning, mobile learners can´t be aware of other collaborative learners´ information and can´t effectively communicate with them due to small screens of mobile devices, small storage and the limitation of data-processing ability. In this paper, the author puts forwards a middleware structure based on multi-agent system in order to allow mobile learners to visit the existing collaborative platform and to make full advantage of multi-agent system´s autonomy, coordination and intelligence. The author describes the middleware structure in detail and elaborates on the composition and the functions of the structure.
