Multi-agent technologies for ubiquitous environment became recently attractive for many peoples. According to these interests, agent technologies have been researched by various researchers and laboratories. In this multi-agent environment, each of these agents has its own services and stores the service descriptions in the service repository of the multi-agent system. From this repository, the user agent can search the specific descriptions which the user wants to find. In this paper, we proposed the efficient service repository architecture which can improve the existing directory facilitator as service repository. An advantage of using this architecture is that searching for suitable services can be faster than the old one.

Multi-agent technologies are essential in realizing the upcoming ubiquitous environment. In the multi-agent environment, each agent has its own set of services and stores these services in the service repository of the multi-agent system. By using this repository, the user can retrieve the most appropriate service. In this paper, we propose an efficient service repository architecture that can improve the existing repository by using context inferencing, context filtering, user-predefined policies, and the categorized tree. An advantage of the proposed architecture is that the user can obtain more suitable services than existing approaches about service discovery.
