Self-organising Applications Using Lightweight Agents

A Self-organising Network Based on Lightweight Agents

A lightweight multiagent system is deployed at each node in a communications network with the aim of self-organising the network as usage alters. The distributed, light-weight, co-operative multiagent system guarantees scalability of the approach. As the solution is distributed it is unsuitable to achieve any global optimisation goal — it simply seeks to continually improve network performance ...

Satin: A Component Model for Mobile Self Organisation

We have recently witnessed a growing interest in self organising systems, both in research and in practice. These systems re-organise in response to new or changing conditions in the environment. The need for self organisation is often found in mobile applications; these applications are typically hosted in resource-constrained environments and may have to dynamically reorganise in response to ...

A self-organising distributed location server for ad hoc networks : a comprehensive analysis of using self-organising agents for storing location information in ad hoc networks

Self-Managing and Self-Organising Mobile Computing Applications: a Separation of Concerns approach

Self-organising systems are being developed in an ad-hoc way, without reusing functionalities, thus producing a software difficult to maintain and to reuse in other applications. The development of self-organising applications and a fortiori the one of self-organising mobile applications is limited to developers who are experts in specific self-organising mechanisms. This paper discusses the no...

Durability of Self-compacting Lightweight Aggregate Concretes (LWSCC) as Repair Overlays

For rehabilitation of damaged concrete structures, the durability of repair overlay is a very important issue. Self-compacting concretes (SCC) are known as a suitable repair overlay materials. In this study, the durability of different self-compacting lightweight aggregate concretes (LWSCC) and effect of lightweight aggregate type on them is investigated. 3 mix designs of LWSCC containing three...
