SUMPY: A Fuzzy Software Agent
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMPY is a software agent “living” in and helping to maintain a UNIX file system for better disk space utilization by compressing and backing up. Built using subsumption architecture, SUMPY displays a “plug and play” property. A new UNIX maintenance task can be added to SUMPY’s repertoire without modification of existing layers. One of SUMPY’s layers sports a fuzzy control mechanism enabling it to achieve its goals in a realworld manner. Another restricts SUMPY’s activity to times of slow CPU use. An experiment in agent architecture and in the use of agents for such maintenance tasks, SUMPY promises to prove useful, and has added no significant problems to the test systems.

متن کاملIntelligent Agent Based Delay Aware QoS Unicast Routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
Quality of Service (QoS) support in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) is a challenging task due to bandwidth and delay constraints, varying channel conditions, power limitations, node mobility and dynamic topology. This paper proposes an intelligent agent based ondemand (source initiated) delay aware QoS routing scheme in MANETs by using software agents that employ neuro-fuzzy logic supported by ...

Multicast routing and provision of QoS (Quality of Service) are challenging problems due to the dynamic topology and limited resources in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). This paper proposes an agent based QoS routing algorithm that employs fuzzy logic to select an optimal path by considering multiple independent QoS metrics such as buffer occupancy rate, remaining battery capacity of a mobile ...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Mathematics Approach to Modeling Emergent Holonic Structures
This paper proposes fuzzy entropy minimization as an emergent property of holonic structures. When applied in the context of multi-agent systems this emergent property leads to automatic clustering of the agents into holonic organizations. When modeling enterprises as software agents the property turns into an inherent characteristic of holonic virtual organizations that enables clustering the ...
