The algorithm we present in this paper aims to optimally distribute and connect the community of loosely coupled middle agents ensuring communication accessibility in a dynamic, i...
In this paper, we consider the problem of dynamic lightpath protection in survivable WDM networks with single link failure model. Our work concerns in how to dynamically determine...
Whenever independent, non-cooperative actors jointly have to solve a complex task, they need to coordinate their efforts. Typical examples of such task coordination problems are s...
Similarity measures are mechanisms that assign a numeric score indicating how closely two documents, or a document and a query match. The Cosine measure is one of the similarity m...
In many different applications on the Web, distributed agents would like to discover and access high quality information sources. This is a challenging problem since an agent does...
This paper aims to determine whether an adaptive agent population performs better than a static population. A static population is evolved on historical equity market data from th...
Trust management model that we present is adapted for ubiquitous devices cooperation, rather than for classic client-supplier relationship. We use fuzzy numbers to represent trust...
The mobile agent technology is an important research area in the scope of code mobility. As part of an agent mission objective, it may exist the necessity of meeting an end-to-end...
Several problems are involved in the Virtual Enterprise (VE) formation process. One of the most important problems is the lack of understanding that may arise during agents’ int...
