چکیده
1 Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper describes how biologically-inspired agents can be used to solve control and management problems in Telecommunications. These agents, inspired by the foraging behavior of ants, exhibit the desirable characteristics of simplicity of action and interaction. The collection of agents, or swarm system, deals only with local knowledge and exhibits a form of distributed control with agent communication effected through the environment. In this paper we explore the application of ant-like agents to the problem of routing in circuit switched telecommunication networks.

Connection Management using Adaptive Mobile Agents
1 Email: [email protected] Abstract: This paper describes how adaptive mobile agents can be used to solve connection management problems in Telecommunications using a parallel, distributed process. These agents have behavior that is inspired by the foraging activities of ants, with each agent capable of simple actions. Problem solving is distributed and arises as a consequence of the sel...
متن کاملAn Overview of Group Key Management Issues in IEEE 802.16e Networks
The computer industry has defined the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that will enable mobile devices to access a broadband network as an alternative to digital subscriber line technology. As the mobile devices join and leave a network, security measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the network against unauthorized usage by encryption and group key management. IEEE 802.16e uses Multica...
متن کاملAn Application of Genetic Network Programming Model for Pricing of Basket Default Swaps (BDS)
The credit derivatives market has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. As such, there is a growing interest in tools for pricing of the most prominent credit derivative, the credit default swap (CDS). In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm for pricing of basket default swaps (BDS). For this purpose, genetic network programming (GNP), which is one of the recent evolutiona...
