The MCAPL Framework including the Agent Infrastructure Layer an Agent Java Pathfinder

An Agent Infrastructure to Build and Evaluate Multi-Agent Systems: The Java Agent Framework and Multi-Abent System Simulator

An Agent Based, Application-Layer Security Framework

Although numerous defense mechanisms against application-level attacks have been implemented, application and software vulnerabilities still persist and are actively exploited. Typical exploits include buffer overflow, SQL injection, information theft, and execution of malicious code. Of more concern is the notion that the emergence of Web services as standard means of accessing and publishing ...

An Agent-Based Infrastructure for Parallel Java on Heterogeneous Cluster

In this paper, we introduce an agent-based infrastructure that provides software services and functions for developing and deploying high performance programming models and applications on clusters. A Java-based prototype, based on this architecture, has been developed. Since this system is written completely in Java, it is portable and allows executing programs in parallel across multiple hete...

The Information Agent: an infrastructure agent supporting collaborative enterprise architectures

We introduce the Information Agent as a component of the information infrastructure supporting collaborative computing environments. We discuss the functions of the Information Agent, describe an architecture based on an Agent Program and a Knowledge Management System and present our choices for these components. We show how the architecture can be designed and implemented using description log...

A Java Framework for Multi-agent Systems

The complexity of distributed systems (multi-agent systems in particular) involves the design and coordination of many entities (called agents). This activity is not trivial and there is not a standard way to do this. So, it is desirable to have tools for reusing previous designed components and relations between them. Frameworks allow design and code to be reused. Intelligent agents cover a bi...
