Agent-populated Active Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Active networking aims at transforming passive data carriers to active, dynamically configurable machines that no only pass data to each other but also perform computation on those data. In such a framework mobile agents can help either as carriers of the active code to be installed on active nodes or even as actors by managing the node autonomously. This paper explores the applicability of the agent technology in the active network (AN) domain. We present an architecture of an active node with embedded agent technology. Then we set the requirements for an AN language and finally we try to discover the benefits that this approach offers. At the end we give a scenario that illustrates a practical working notion of such an architecture.

متن کاملSemantic Service Discovery in MAS Using Social Networks
Service-Oriented Multi-Agent Systems are dynamic systems populated by heterogeneous agents. These agents model their functionality as services in order to allow heterogeneous agents or other entities to interact in a standardized way. Furthermore, due to the large-scale and the adaptive needs of the system, the traditional directory facilitators or middle-agents are not suitable for the managem...

This paper presents an application of multi-agent system in ubiquitous computing scenarios characteristic of next-generation networks. Next-generation networks will create environments populated with a vast number of consumers, which will possess diverse types of context-aware devices. In such environments the consumer should be able to access all the available services anytime, from any place,...
متن کاملA Mobile Agent-Based Framework for Active Networks
This paper presents a framework for active networks. The framework is unique among other existing active networks in being based on mobile agents. It allows protocols to be implemented within mobile agents and dynamically deployed at end systems. Moreover, it can dispatch networked applications, including client/server programs built on TCP/IP, to remote computers. In this paper, we outline an ...
