Distributing agents

We show that the conceptual parallelism underlying multi-agent systems (MAS) and the parallelism as thought in the field of distributed systems in computer science are not the image one of each other. One should distinguish between the two notions of coexisting Agents and distributed processes in order to make them converge afterwards. Otherwise, the risk is to reduce the parallelism of the MAS...

Distributing Identity

This paper considers distributed protocols for assigning IDs. Normally the maker of an RFID system would simply assign each ID sequentially in the factory, or the user would manually burn it in to EPROM. But it may be cheaper and simpler to manufacture units identically, and build the capability to become unique into each one. I describe three distributed protocols which make use of hardware ra...

Distributing privacy policies over multimedia content across multiple online social networks

Online Social Networks (OSNs) are currently playing a crucial role in our everyday social life. Their great growth has sparked the interest of hackers and individual users that try to disclose as much information as possible, which in many cases unfortunately is possible. In such events, the users’ privacy settings are bypassed by the leakage of their shared media content. To address this chall...

Distributing Attributed Graph Transformation

In this work we consider the question how attributed graph transformation can be distributed over a network. Among several attribution concepts for graph transformation in the literature we choose the description of data and data operations by partial algebras leading to a powerful and exible attribution of graph transformation. Distributing it over a network, the communication between network ...
