jMAD- A small Java Mobile Agent Development Platform

JAVA-Based Agent Platform Evaluation

The paper presents a comparison of available JAVA-based agent development tools (platforms) with respect to the specific requirements of agent-based manufacturing control solutions. We discuss the use of agents, as high-level decision-making entities, in combination with the low-level real-time control based on IEC 1131-3 or IEC 61499 standards. The need to run agents, written in JAVA language,...

A mobile-agent and SNMP based management platform built with the Java ProActive library

This paper presents our research into determining an adaptive and an up-to-date service developed for system and network management. By using a discovery process, the effective network topology is recorded and refreshed as necessary. In that way, by mixing collected information at each sub-network for example, an itinerary can be obtained that spans the whole administrative domain. Based on suc...

A Mobile Agent Platform for Remote Measurements

Industrial applications require suitable monitoring systems able to identify any decrement in the production efficiency involving economical losses. The information coming from a general purpose monitoring system can be usefully exploited to implement a sensorless instrument monitoring an AC motor drive and a diagnostic tool providing useful risk coefficients. The method is based on a complex d...

Magrathea: A Mobile Agent- and Sensing Platform

Personal mobile devices are all ubiquitous in many forms like mobile handsets, PDAs, etc. Their features and computational powers make them a very capable platform for wireless sensing and mobile agents. We present Magrathea: A mobile agentand sensing platform that is built on top of mobile smart phones. We discuss the motivation behind the platform, present the design choices, the architecture...
