The growth of commercial activities across networks has led to the network itself becoming a competitive marketplace with a multitude of vendors, operators and customers. In such a...
Telecommunications network management has attracted a lot of attention in terms of research and standardisation in the last decade. TMN and TINA architectural frameworks try to add...
We present a first approach that combines the mobile agent and the compositional paradigms into a new agent-based compositional model. The aim of this work is to explore the capabi...
Over the last few years, the importance of mobile computing as been steadily increasing. While it is important to provide support for accessing databases in disconnected computing...
This paper considers resource allocation in a network with mobile agents competing for computational priority. We formulate this problem as a multi-agent game with the players bei...
This paper addresses the problem of protecting the data carried by mobile agents from the possible attacks of malicious execution hosts. Specifically, we consider protection mecha...
This paper describes a method for controlling the behavior of mobile agent-system entities through the allocation of privileges. Privileges refer to policy rules that govern the a...
We present a new approach to ensure the secure execution of itinerary-driven mobile agents, in which the specification of the navigational behavior of an agent is separated from t...
In this paper we present Mob, a service-oriented scripting language for programming mobile agents in distributed systems. The main feature of the language is the integration of th...
Recently we had proposed two untraceability protocols for mobile agents and began investigating their quality. We believe that quality evaluation of security protocols should exte...
