: Software agents comprise a new area for research and soon will be embedded and ubiquitous in modern computing systems. In this formative phase, it is important to develop compreh...
This paper will lead you into the world of mobile agents, an emerging technology that makes it very much easier to design, implement, and maintain distributed systems. You will fin...
Expectation-Driven Event Monitoring (EDEM) provides developers with a platform for creating software agents to collect usage data and increase user involvement in the development ...

Moore’s Law is pushing us inevitably towards a world of pervasive, wireless, spontaneously networked computing devices. Whatever these devices do, they will have to talk to and n...
Presently, many distributed multimedia systems adapt to their changing environments and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements by exchanging control and feedback data between server...
Software agents are currently the subject of much research in many interrelated fields. Unfortunately, there has not been enough emphasis on defining the techniques required to bu...
Abstract. In this paper, we describe how the AGORA multi-agent architecture is used to support Virtual Enterprises(VE). Software agents represent the partners of a VE, who collabor...
Traditional centralised approaches to security are difficult to apply to large, distributed marketplaces in which software agents operate. Developing a notion of trust that is ba...
Large-scale distributed environments, such as the Internet, achieve advantages in exploiting software agents for applications, thanks to their autonomy in carrying out tasks. In s...
The paper describes ITW – a multi-platform and multilanguage architecture used to discover (multimedia) resources. The ITW system is based on Web services and software agents, e...
