Programming the Mobility Behaviour of Agents by Composing Itineraries
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an algebra for programming the itineraries of mobile agents. The algebra contains operators for modelling sequential, parallel, nondeterministic, and conditional mobility behaviour. Iterative behaviour is also modelled by a language of regular itineraries borrowing ideas from regular expressions. We give an operational semantics for the operators using Plotkin-style transition rules and provide examples of itineraries for meeting scheduling, sales order processing, and network modelling.

System and Network Management Itineraries for Mobile Agents
The technology of mobile agents has proven its usefulness for system and network management. In order to be effective, the integration of SNMP-based operations and the use of mobility should be effective. This paper presents a step forwards such an integration, by designing and implementing itineraries of mixed destination types: (1) a destination type that represents a location where a mobile ...
متن کاملA DSS-Based Dynamic Programming for Finding Optimal Markets Using Neural Networks and Pricing
One of the substantial challenges in marketing efforts is determining optimal markets, specifically in market segmentation. The problem is more controversial in electronic commerce and electronic marketing. Consumer behaviour is influenced by different factors and thus varies in different time periods. These dynamic impacts lead to the uncertain behaviour of consumers and therefore harden the t...
متن کاملA NEW BIOLOGICAL SCREENING SYSTEM FOR LOCAL ANAESTHETICS BY INHIBITION MOBILITY OF TETRAHYMENA PYRIFORMIS
An alternative in vitro approach to drug screening has been the use of human cell cultures for antiviral agents and microbial cell cultures for the assessment of the carcinogenic potential of selected compounds. A number of protozoan species have been also used as drug screens for anti-protozoal agents. The ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis species has been widely utilised as a dru...
متن کاملTwo-stage stochastic programming model for capacitated complete star p-hub network with different fare classes of customers
In this paper, a stochastic programming approach is applied to the airline network revenue management problem. The airline network with the arc capacitated single hub location problem based on complete–star p-hub network is considered. We try to maximize the profit of the transportation company by choosing the best hub locations and network topology, applying revenue management techniques to al...
متن کاملPodcast Distribution on Disconnected Areas
We consider a realistic podcast distribution application in remote rural areas, where programs have to be recorded into a CD and distributed to the local radio stations. We use a store-carry-and-forward approach, based on mobile agents, that is designed to operate in areas that lack network infrastructure. PrivHab is a georouting protocol that learns the mobility habits of the nodes of the netw...
