A Formal Petri Net Based Model for Antivirus Update Agent System

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

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 date of updating of antivirus on client computers. Then, by passing the list of unupdated client computers to UNA, next migration is started. The mobile agent system is modeled with logical agent mobility method (LAM) using Petri nets. Each agent is modeled with a predicate/transition Petri net. In this model, the antivirus updating system consists of a set of components to identify different locations and a set of connectors to specify the interactions among the components. Connectors and components are modeled with PrT Nets.

A Conceptual Graph Petri Net Model based Multi Agent System

In this work, we propose a new formal tool called CGPN (Conceptual Graph Petri Nets) which is a combination of CG (Conceptual Graph) and CPN (Color Petri Net) to model collaborative behavior of agents in a MAS(Multi Agent System) to achieve some goals. The CG is used to represent knowledge and on the other side CPN is used to model the concurrent and dynamic aspects of a system. It is difficult...

A Petri-net Model for Operational Cycle in SCADA Systems

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system monitors and controls industrial processes in critical infrastructures (CIs) and plays the vital role in maintaining the reliability of CIs such as power, oil, and gas system. In fact, SCADA system refers to the set of control process, which measures and monitors sensors in remote substations from a control center. These sensors usually ha...

Formal approach on modeling and predicting of software system security: Stochastic petri net

To evaluate and predict component-based software security, a two-dimensional model of software security is proposed by Stochastic Petri Net in this paper. In this approach, the software security is modeled by graphical presentation ability of Petri nets, and the quantitative prediction is provided by the evaluation capability of Stochastic Petri Net and the computing power of Markov chain. Each...

A Petri Net Based Agent Behavioral Testing

In Multi-Agent System (MAS), developers concentrate on creating design models and evolving them, from higher level models to lower level models, in several steps. Considerable part of MAS implementations is automatically produced from the design models. If a design model contains faults, they are passed to the generated implementations. Practical model validation techniques are required to disc...
