چکیده

Two similar multiagent systems have been designed to address the issue of information sharing within a multiagent system. This paper examines architectural components that have been added to our information sharing societies, ACORN and MP3. Through this exploration, we conclude that these components and their underlying concepts can be added to other information retrieval societies. ACORN consists of a set of information sharing locations referred to as Cafés. Cafés are defined as meeting locations for like-minded agents. Like-minded agents are defined as agents that share a common set of interests. As an example, a café may contain agents that are interested in information relating to cars. A dynamic café clustering method is developed. The performance evaluation of the proposed structure for the café is presented. The concept of a fat/thin agent architecture is introduced. This agent architecture allows for minimizing network traffic as agents traverse the network in search of or distribution of knowledge. The directory server component is presented along with its relation to the fat/thin agent architecture. Lastly, anonymity service provider which allows anonymity for users is introduced. The MP3 society exists with the sole purpose of finding MP3’s throughout a given network. Through this society, the core design issues of agent verification, and agent validation are addressed and solutions are presented through respective interface components.

A Review of BlockChain

Blockchain is an emerging technology for decentralized and transactional data sharing across a large network of untrusted participants. It enables new forms of distributed software architectures, where components can find agreements on their shared states without trusting a central integration point or any particular participating components. Considering the block- chain as a software connector...

Simulation of Order Fulfillment in Divergent Assembly Supply Chains

Management of supply chains is a difficult task involving coordination and decision-making across organizational boundaries. Computational modeling using multi-agent simulation is a tool that can provide decision support for supply chain managers. We identify the components of a supply chain model and implement it in the Swarm multi-agent simulation platform. The model is used to study the impa...
