this paper presents a comprehensive robust distributed intelligent control for optimum self-healing activities in smart distribution systems considering the uncertainty in loads. the presented agent based framework obviates the requirements for a central control method and improves the reliability of the self-healing mechanism. agents possess three characteristics including local views, decentr...

We describe a novel framework for designing and implementing agent based simulations of the smart electrical grid. The framework is based on two primary concepts. First, the eletrical grid system is separated into semi-autonomous microgrids, each with their own set of hierarchically organized agents. Second, models for automating decision-making in the grid during crisis situations are independ...

The fundamental requirement for the autonomous capsule-based self-healing process to work is that cracks need to reach the capsules and break them such that the healing agent can be released. Ignoring all other aspects, the amount of healing agents released into the crack is essential to obtain a good healing. Meanwhile, from the perspective of the capsule shapes, spherical or elongated capsule...

Wireless sensor networks are consisted of hundreds or thousands of small sensors that have limited resources. Energy-efficient techniques are the main issue of wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes an energy efficient agent-based framework in wireless sensor networks. We adopt biologically inspired approaches for wireless sensor networks. Agent operates automatically with their behavior...

This paper details the implementation of a software framework that aids the development of distributed and self-configurable software systems. This framework is an instance of a novel integration strategy called SoSAA (SOcially Situated Agent Architecture), which combines Component-Based Software Engineering [15] and Agent-Oriented Software Engineering, drawing its inspiration from hybrid agent...

Our approach to creating self-healing systems is based on software architecture, where repairs are done at the level of a software system's components and connectors. In our approach, event-based software architectures are targeted because they offer significant benefits for run-time adaptation. Before an automated planning agent can decide how to repair a self-healing system, a significant inf...
