Mobile agents can be considered to be a new design paradigm in the area of distributed programming. This paper deals with problems of mobile agents which should be able to achieve a user-given task autonomously. In search of a “good enough” solution, the agent should be able to find new places and should move “fast enough” through the network. Can “migration intelligence” help to solve these pr...

A paper needs to be good enough to be published; a grant proposal needs to be sufficiently convincing compared to the other proposals, in order to get funded. Papers and proposals are examples of cooperative projects that compete with each other and require effort from the involved agents, while often these agents need to divide their efforts across several such projects. We aim to provide advi...

General password policies do not guarantee that passwords fulfilling the requirement are good enough. The policies have a tendency to be too broad to be useful for all users. Different users have different designing processes based on what kind of passwords they most easily remember. Users are also often left to generate passwords on their own without any training. In our study we used new pass...

In this paper we consider the problem of retrieving objects from a database that respond to a pursued goal (relevancy) by the extractors or decision makers to form a short list from which the final selection will be made because it is well known that human beings are good discriminators when facing few objects but perform very poorly in face of a great number of objects. These problems arise in...
