Agent Groups in Mobile Agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the key arguments for mobile agent systems is the flexible usage of groups of agents. However, none of the existing mobile agent systems supports agent groups. In this paper we introduce our model of agent groups in mobile agent environments. Various entities of an agent group are consecutively identified and their roles within an electronic market scenario thoroughly pictured. We argue that with the accurate employment of the provided agent group primitives the system’s flexibility can be significantly enhanced: user applications can, for example, trade performance against fault-tolerance.

Cooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...

متن کاملA Formal Petri Net Based Model for Antivirus Update Agent System
In this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition Petri nets. The mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called DCA and UNA. It sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. Each agent takes on a specified responsibility. First, DCA roams through the network and check the last d...

متن کاملReliability Requirements in Mobile Agent Systems
A fundamental issue in the development of mobile agent systems is how to provide support for agent applications reliability. For some agent applications areas (such as electronic commerce or workflow) it is fundamental that mobile agent executions are fault tolerant and exhibit transactional semantics or that groups of mobile agents can coordinate their activities with the use of a reliable com...
