In this paper, a protection system adopting a MultiAgent concept for the distribution systems is proposed. An overcurrent relay(OCR) is developed as an agent by adding its own intelligence, self-tuning and communication ability. The proposed OCR agent is able to detect a fault or a change in the network in an autonomous manner and changes its operating parameters adapting to the new operation c...

introduction One hindrance to the widespread adoption of mobile-agent technology is the lack of security. Security will be the issue that has to be addressed carefully if mobile agents are to be used in the field of electronic commerce. SAFER (secure agent fabrication, evolution and roaming) is a mobile-agent framework that is specially designed for the purpose of electronic commerce (Guan buil...

This paper presents an agent-based approach to Network Intrusion Prevention on corporate networks, emphasizing the protection from fast-spreading mobile malicious code outbreaks (e.g. worms) and related threats. Agents are not only used as a system-integration platform, but we use modern agent approaches to trust modeling and distributed task allocation to efficiently detect and also counter th...

Botnets allow malefactors manage millions of infected computers simultaneously and provide large-scale successful attacks. The paper suggests an approach for multi-agent simulation of botnets and botnet protection mechanisms. The main contribution of the paper is an improved simulation environment for agent based simulation of botnets and experimentation with this environment for analysis of di...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

Introduction Power systems have undergone a great deal of change in the past decade. The United States electric power grid was deregulated in the late 1990’s. As a result, it is increasingly operated with smaller generation reserves and more transmission congestion. If deregulation continues, it seems likely that power flows will be larger and will fluctuate to a greater extent in future years....
