Mobile agents can migrate among nodes to perform a set of management tasks at each of the visited nodes. Existing mobile agent-based network management systems often assume that their mobile agents are designed to work in particular networks to raise the efficiency of agent migration among multiple nodes. Unfortunately, such mobile agents cannot be reused in different networks. This paper propo...

Mobile devices and wireless data connectivity are getting more and more common nowadays. In this networked world there are going to be dozens of new applications. Location Based Services will play a major role in this area.

The evolution of mobile malware poses a serious threat to smartphone security. Today, sophisticated attackers can adapt by maximally sabotaging machine-learning classifiers via polluting training data, rendering most recent machine learning-based malware detection tools (such as Drebin and DroidAPIMiner) ineffective. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of constructing crafted malware samp...
