Mobile IP, as originally specified, defines an authentication extension (the Mobile-Foreign Authentication extension) by which a mobile node can authenticate itself to a foreign agent. Unfortunately, that extension does not provide the foreign agent any direct guarantee that the protocol is protected from replays and does not allow for the use of existing techniques (such as Challenge Handshake...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

Over the last few years more complex and flexible techniques have been needed to develop hard real-time systems. The agent paradigm seems to be an appropriate approach to be applied in this area. ARTIS is an agent architecture suitable for hard real-time agents. This paper is focused on an extension of the control module of ARTIS agents that provides a soft real-time control architecture inside...

To analyze emergent behavior, a formal framework is needed to characterize the structure and dynamics of complex interaction-based multi-agent systems. We introduce an extension of an existing agent testbed for artificial societies making it possible to formally analyze the dynamics of the simulated agent system. The extension generates temporally annotated logical terms that describe parts of ...
