A general index heuristic for search with mobile agents
… considers a suite of search problems in which agents are trying to find goals in minimum expected time. Unlike search in data structures in which time is measured by a number operations, search in metric spaces measures time by units of distance and has received much less attention. In …

Magellan: A Risk-bounded Plan Executive for Autonomous Mobile Agents
Autonomous mobile agents are being tasked to perform increasingly complex, coordinated missions that require achieving multiple goals over long horizons and in risky environments. This requires a tight coupling between activity and motion planning– commitments made in an activity plan and its …

The Role of Intelligent Mobile Agents in Network Management and Routing
In this research, the application of intelligent mobile agents to the management of distributed network environments is investigated. Intelligent mobile agents are programs which can move about network systems in a deterministic manner in carrying their execution state. These agents can be …

A Security Model for Mobile Agents using X.509 Proxy Certificates
Mobile agent technology presents an attractive alternative to the client-server paradigm for several network and real-time applications. However, for most applications, the lack of a viable agent security model has limited the adoption of the agent paradigm. This thesis presents a security model …

Design and Modelling of Decentralised Task Allocation Mechanisms in Groups of Mobile Agents
Division of labour is a fundamental field of research within the context of multi-agent (particularly swarm based systems) and multi-robot systems. Eusocial insects, for instance ants and bees, are known to display remarkable capabilities of allocating tasks to nest mates when the colony gets …

Mobile agent-based attack-resistant architecture for Distributed Intrusion Detection system
… components' static nature by wrapping them as mobile agents. Through mobility we achieve an attack resistant architecture for the hierarchical distributed intrusion detection components. As mobile agents, these components can hide in a complex network topology, constantly roaming to avoid …

Recognition of 3D compressed images and its traffic monitoring applications
… To reduce transmission loads, we use mobile agents to filter the network. Mobile agents are dispatched to smart cameras with user defined goals that conditionally allow image transmission. For traffic monitoring, smart cameras determine traffic flow and accidents. Mobile agents send …
