Coordination of Groups of Mobile Autonomous Agents Using Nearest Neighbor Rules

by A. Jadbabaie, J. Lin, A. S. Morse , 2002
"... In a recent Physical Review Letters paper, Vicsek et. al. propose a simple but compelling discrete-time model of n autonomous agents fi.e., points or particlesg all moving in the plane with the same speed but with dierent headings. Each agent's heading is updated using a local rule based on ..."

A calculus of mobile processes, I

by Robin Milner, et al. , 1992
"... We present the a-calculus, a calculus of communicating systems in which one can naturally express processes which have changing structure. Not only may the component agents of a system be arbitrarily linked, but a communication between neighbours may carry information which changes that linkage. The ..."

Mobile Agents: Are They a Good Idea?

by David Chess, Colin Harrison, Aaron Kershenbaum, T. J. Watson , 1995
"... Mobile agents are programs, typically written in a script language, which may be dispatched from a client computer and transported to a remote server computer for execution. Several authors have suggested that mobile agents offer an important new method of performing transactions and information ret ..."

Data mules: Modeling a three-tier architecture for sparse sensor networks

by Rahul C. Shah, Sumit Roy, Sushant Jain, Waylon Brunette - IN IEEE SNPA WORKSHOP , 2003
"... Abstract — This paper presents and analyzes an architecture that exploits the serendipitous movement of mobile agents in an environment to collect sensor data in sparse sensor networks. The mobile entities, called MULEs, pick up data from sensors when in close range, buffer it, and drop off the data ..."

iML: A Logic-based Framework for Constructing

by Graphical User Interface, Naoki Fukuta, Nobuaki Mizutani, Tadachika Ozono, Toramatsu Shintani , 2001
"... Mobile agent technology is an emerging technology that allows easier design, implementation, and maintenance of distributed systems. Mobility enables agents to reduce network load, overcome network latency, and handle network disconnections. Few mobile agent systems support Prolog language, and no s ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
ML method is 6.7 times smaller in size, and 6.0 times faster in migration speed in comparison with the Java serialization technique. We used the iML framework at our knowledge programming lecture. During the lecture, 60 students attended after which 45 students could create GUI-based mobile agents, and 16

Protecting Mobile Agents Against Malicious Hosts

by Tomas Sander, Christian F. Tschudin , 1997
"... A key element of any mobile code based distributed system are the security mechanisms available to protect (a) the host against potentially hostile actions of a code fragment under execution and (b) the mobile code against tampering attempts by the executing host. Many techniques for the first ..."

A Calculus of Mobile Agents

by Cédric Fournet, Georges Gonthier, Jean-Jacques Lévy, Luc Maranget, Didier Rémy, Inria Rocquencourt , 1996
"... . We introduce a calculus for mobile agents and give its chemical semantics, with a precise definition for migration, failure, and failure detection. Various examples written in our calculus illustrate how to express remote executions, dynamic loading of remote resources and protocols with mobile ag ..."

Developing multi-agent systems with JADE

by Fabio Bellifemine, Agostino Poggi, Giovanni Rimassa - Wiley Series in Agent Technology , 2007
"... Abstract. JADE (Java Agent Development Framework) is a software framework to make easy the development of multi-agent applications in compliance with the FIPA specifications. JADE can then be considered a middle-ware that implements an efficient agent platform and supports the development of multi a ..."

AntNet: Distributed stigmergetic control for communications networks

by Gianni Di Caro, Marco Dorigo - JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH , 1998
"... This paper introduces AntNet, a novel approach to the adaptive learning of routing tables in communications networks. AntNet is a distributed, mobile agents based Monte Carlo system that was inspired by recent work on the ant colony metaphor for solving optimization problems. AntNet's agents co ..."

KLAIM: a Kernel Language for Agents Interaction and Mobility

by Rocco De Nicola, Gianluigi Ferrari, Rosario Pugliese - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1997
"... We investigate the issue of designing a kernel programming language for Mobile Computing and describe Klaim, a language that supports a programming paradigm where processes, like data, can be moved from one computing environment to another. The language consists of a core Linda with multiple tuple s ..."

Klaim is equipped with a type system that statically checks access rights violations of mobile agents. Types are used to describe the intentions (read, write, execute
