In this paper we present the design and the implementation of Mobile-C, an IEEE Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) compliant agent platform for mobile C/C++ agents. Such compliance ensures the interoperability between a Mobile-C agent and other agents from heterogeneous FIPA compliant mobile agent platforms. Also, the Mobile-C library was designed to support synchronization in or...

The mobile agent-based computational steering (MACS) for distributed applications is presented in this article. In the MACS, a mobile agent platform, Mobile-C, is embedded in a program through the Mobile-C library to support C/C++ mobile agent code. Runtime replaceable algorithms of a program are represented as agent services in C/C++ source code and can be replaced with new ones through mobile...

Thanks to steady advances in hardware, mobile computing platforms are nowadays much more connected to their physical and logical environment than ever before. To ease the construction of adaptable applications that are smarter with respect to their execution environment, the context-oriented programming paradigm has emerged. However, up until now there has been no proof that this emerging parad...

This article describes a decentralized secure migration process of mobile agents between Mobile-C agencies. Mobile-C is an IEEE Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) standard compliant multi-agent platform for supporting C/C++ mobile and stationary agents. Mobile-C is specially designed for mechatronic and factory automation systems where malicious agents may cause physical damage t...

      A sensitive procedure for determining total vitamin C (ascorbic acid + dehydrate ascorbic Acid) in a blood drop from a finger prick, before and after the adminis- tration of a vitamin C tablet is described. Analysis was carried out by high per- formance liquid  chromatography with  electrochemical detection (HPLC/EC). Measurements were taken one hour, two hours and six hours after the adm...
