A major setback for mobile agent technology is a lack of interoperability between systems for mobile agents which prevents them from reaching “critical mass.” In this paper, we analyze the requirements for interoperability, and present design patterns which support interoperability between systems for mobile agents. We tested our patterns by adding support for Jade agents as well as for Tracy a...

We develop a tool to approximate the entries of a large dimensional complex Jacobi ensemble with independent complex Gaussian random variables. Based on this and the author’s earlier work in this direction, we obtain the Tracy-Widom law of the largest singular values of the Jacobi emsemble. Moreover, the circular law, the Marchenko-Pastur law, the central limit theorem, and the laws of large nu...

In a 1977 paper of McCoy, Tracy and Wu [2] there appeared for the first time the solution of a Painlevé equation in terms of Fredholm determinants of integral operators. Specifically, it was shown that a one-parameter family of solutions of the equation ψ ′′ (t) + t −1 ψ ′ (t) = 1 2 sinh 2ψ + 2α t −1 sinh ψ, (1) a special case of the Painlevé III equation, is given by ψ(t) =

In the field of intelligent distributed computing in dynamic computer networks, we focus on mobile agents and mobile agent systems, especially on the itinerary problem and the adaptivity of mobile agents. This paper outlines our current research activities which are based on the Tracy mobile agent system, developed at FSU during the last few years. For our purposes we expand this system by addi...
