Programming Heterogeneous Agent-based Applications through the JIMAF: a case study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of (mobile) agent-based applications for open environments requires heterogeneous agent-based platforms to be interoperable. Interoperability can be achieved through agents which are able to execute and migrate through heterogeneous agent platforms, interact with each other independently from the hosting platform, and interact with the agents of the applications already available on the different platforms. This paper presents and exemplifies through a case study the exploitation of JIMAF-based interoperable mobile agents for achieving interoperability among Java-based heterogeneous agent platforms and, particularly, the use of JIMAF-based interoperable wrapper agents for achieving the relevant feature of code reuse.

Achieving Mobile Agent Systems interoperability through software layering
Interoperability is a key issue for a wider adoption of mobile agent systems (MASs) in heterogeneous and open distributed environments where agents, in order to fulfill their tasks, must interact with non-homogeneous agents and traverse different agent platforms to access remote resources. To date, while several approaches have been proposed to deal with different aspects of MAS interoperabilit...
متن کاملA Mixed Integer Programming Formulation for the Heterogeneous Fixed Fleet Open Vehicle Routing Problem
The heterogeneous fixed fleet open vehicle routing problem (HFFOVRP) is one of the most significant extension problems of the open vehicle routing problem (OVRP). The HFFOVRP is the problem of designing collection routes to a number of predefined nodes by a fixed fleet number of vehicles with various capacities and related costs. In this problem, the vehicle doesn’t return to the depot after se...

This research presents a mathematical model for performance-based budgeting and combines it with rolling budget for increased flexibility. The model has been designed by Chebyshev's goal programming technique with fuzzy approach. The parameters or coefficients of the model are derived by measuring the productivity of the organizations considering eight criteria. Data for calc...
متن کاملA Case Study in Role-based Agent Interactions to Perform Administrative Tasks
Mobile agents are an emerging approach to develop distributed and parallel applications. They also can be used to develop enterprise applications, since they can act as active network components, and can execute on heterogeneous platforms and architectures. They also grant a high level of automatism, since they can be developed to perform one or more tasks without needing user interactions. In ...

The aim of this paper is to consider what constitutes agent-based modelling (ABM) and how this can relate to archaeological reasoning. The development and construction of ABM models is an essential prerequisite for most archaeological reasoning. Both directly and indirectly, archaeologists are making extensive use of ideas and methods in applications that derive from archaeological, anthropolog...
