Networks of multi-agent systems are considered to be heterogeneous if they include systems with different sets of APIs, running on different virtual machines. Developing an agent that can operate in this kind of a setting is a difficult task, because the process requires regeneration of the agent’s executable code, as well as modifications in the way it communicates with the environment. With t...

The introduction of adaptation features in the design of applications that operate in a mobile computing environment has been suggested as a viable solution to cope with the high heterogeneity and variability of this environment. Mobile code paradigms can be used to this purpose, since they allow to dynamically modify the load of the hosting nodes and the internode traffic, to adapt to the reso...

To enhance scalability of replicated services a large number of mobile agents attempt to access in mobile agent systems, we present a new strategy to apply an appropriate passive replication mechanism to each replicated service according to its execution behavior because deterministic services require weaker constraints to ensure their consistency than non-deterministic ones. For this goal, two...

A mobile agent system for organizing multiple mobile agents is presented. It provides two unique two mechanisms for dynamically organizing mobile agents, which may be running on single or multiple computers. The first enables a mobile agent to contain other mobile agents inside it and migrate to another mobile agent or computer with its inner agents. It provides an approach to composing large-s...

In this paper we propose a framework for modeling mobile information systems. Mobility introduces several challenges and issues that impact the development of mobile systems. As a result, we want applications running on mobile devices to exhibit certain traits; they should be aware of the mobility and be adaptive to the changes that occur due to it. Literature has identified several types of mo...

Agent technology has evolved rapidly over the past few years along a number of dimensions giving rise to numerous “flavours” of agents such as intelligent agents, mobile agents, etc. One of the most attractive and natural fields for the development of agent technology is the Internet with its vast quantity of available information and offered services. In fact, the term “Internet agent” is effe...

Individual traffic significantly contributes to climate change and environmental degradation. Therefore, innovation in sustainable mobility is gaining importance as it helps reduce pollution. However, effects of new ideas are difficult estimate advance strongly depend on the individual participants. The application agent technology particularly promising focuses modelling heterogeneous preferen...

The ability of an agent to comprehend a sentence is tightly connected the agent's prior experiences and background knowledge. paper suggests interpret comprehension as modality proposes complete bimodal logical system that describes interplay between knowledge modalities.

The problem of formalized logical recognition in conditions of permanent modification of information content on the Internet is considered. An approach based on the idea of modifiable reasoning is proposed. As a mathematical technique for this approach, we propose to use the method of logical actors. This method is compared with the nonmonotonic reasoning. Received October 25, 2000 INTRODUCTION...
