Intelligent mobile agents are today accepted as powerful tools for data mining in a distributed environment. The use of data mining algorithms further beefs up the intelligence in software agents. Knowledge discovery and data mining algorithms are applied to discover hidden patterns and relations in complex datasets using intelligent agents. The distributed computing provides remote communicati...

Intelligent mobile agents are sent between routers to carry out a set of required tasks. Mobile agents can carry algorithms and information to various routers that they visit, such as: timer, navigation algorithm, network information, stability of the network, and load traffic of the network. By clustering intelligent mobile agents, it is possible to minimize the cost of time for each agent to ...

Agent-based economy or agent-based electronic commerce is the term for describing one of possible next steps of electronic commerce. The systematic understanding of the agent-based economy is important for researchers to develop practical intelligent agent systems, and for current electronic commerce industries to cope with the challenges of the intelligent agents. With these purposes, we condu...

Protocols for intelligent agents are difficult to write. This is partially because intelligent agents accommodate their interaction to the situation that arises. As a result, the interaction among intelligent agents cannot be governed by a fixed protocol. In this paper I describe an open protocol paradigm for reasoning in a multi-agent system with decentralized control. An open protocol is a co...
