On the Modelling of Mobile Agent-Based Systems

چکیده
The mobile agent technology provides facilities that enable to reduce the complexity of telecommunication services development. However the major part of this development is still devoted to the code production. In order to optimize the development of services, this production should be reduced while the main part must become an upstream activity, i.e., the elaboration of specifications. This paper introduces an Architecture Description Language (ADL) devoted to the design of mobile agent systems to be implemented in a MASIF compliant platform. The ADL is defined as a UML profile called the MASIF-DESIGN profile. It enables the designer to describe the platform he/she uses, to locate the agents in the platform and to define the elements required from the platform for the achievement of the distribution transparencies.

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 کاملThe Behavioural Modelling and Simulation of a Java-based Mobile Agent Using Matlab
Mobile Agent technology has become more significant in the field of mobile computing. This is due to the rapid advancement of high-performance mobile devices equipped with high-speed wireless telecommunications technology such as GPRS or 3G. Simulation tools are not matured enough to support agent-based applications development process. Modelling and simulation of new systems (e.g. Agent-based ...
متن کاملControl of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...
