Insisting on Persistent Mobile Agent Systems

چکیده
In this paper we continue arguing that persistence is a fundamental requirement to support the development of next-generation agent-based applications. After a general overview of mobility and persistence to clarify the main issues discussed in the paper, we propose a tentative list of facilities that should be supported by persistent mobile agent systems. The main contribution of the paper is a survey of existing persistent and mobile agent systems that includes a comparison based on how well (or badly) they support the proposed list of facilities.

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 کاملTowards a Policy Based Framework for Mobile Agent Authorisation in Mobile Systems
Mobile agents appear to be a potentially important software paradigm for the mobile domain. If, however, these persistent, autonomous programs are permitted to roam freely in networks, interacting with systems and other agents to fulfil their predefined goals, the risk of a mobile agent with malicious intent damaging any system on which it is executed becomes a very real danger. Thus, determini...

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...
