Ad hoc networks are exposed more than traditional networks to security threats due to their mobility and open architecture aspects. In addition, any dysfunction due to badly congu...
Systems of autonomous agents providing automated services over the Web are fast becoming a reality. Often these agent systems are constructed using procedural architectures that pr...
The design of sensor networks capable of reaching a consensus on a globally optimal decision test, without the need for a fusion center, is a problem that has received considerable...
What local action can agents take, without the benefit of global knowledge, to produce the best global solution? Many dynamic distributed systems can be modeled using techniques f...
—“Autonomic systems” merge advancements in the field of multi-agent software design, dynamic analysis, and decentralized control in order to assist designers in constructing...
