solvable graphs (also known as reachable graphs) are types of graphs that any arrangement of a specified number of agents located on the graph’s vertices can be reached from any initial arrangement through agents’ moves along the graph’s edges, while avoiding deadlocks (interceptions). in this paper, the properties of solvable graphs are investigated, and a new concept in multi agent moti...

Solvable Graphs (also known as Reachable Graphs) are types of graphs that any arrangement of a specified number of agents located on the graph’s vertices can be reached from any initial arrangement through agents’ moves along the graph’s edges, while avoiding deadlocks (interceptions).

Supply chain management (SCM) is currently mainly based on older information retrieval methods. It generally has not taken advantage of the ‘dynamic’ information that is now available due to developments in information and communication technology (ICT) and knowledge management (KM). The focus has also changed from a supply-side view of optimizing production efficiency to a demand–side view of ...

Networks and Services management solutions are now moving from centralised platforms to distributed approaches. In order to reach a higher level of scalability and flexibility, an attractive solution can be based on cooperative intelligent agents. This raises new requirements for communication between management entities, as it implies not only exchange of pure management information but also e...

This paper presents a framework that merges various advanced information technologies for developing electronic commerce (e-commerce) applications. The use of e-commerce utilities provides several advantages to businesses. Intelligent agents can be used to facilitate some tasks from those that take place in a commercial transaction moving to a second generation of e-commerce applications. We pr...

The emerging global information infrastructure requires new framework for moving network and service management solutions from producers to consumers. Traditional mechanisms for such movement require sophisticated human intelligence and expertise, high costs in installation and maintenance, or impose high traffic load/availability requirement on the global networks. This paper proposes a new fr...
