In this paper, we propose methods to deal with self-adaptive information systems where one has to control in real time a complex substratum organized with numerous proactive elements continuously producing active links and generating multiple informational exchanges. Such exchanges arise when linking concurrent distributed complex systems. More generally, the growing complexity of today's grand challenges...
Current research in autonomous agents and multi-agent systems (MAS) has reached a level of maturity sufficient enough for MAS to be applied as a technology for solving problems in an increasingly wide range of complex applications. Our aim in this paper is to define a simple, extendible, and formal framework for multi-agent cooperation, over which businesses may build their business frameworks for...
We deal with self-adaptive systems where each local entity has autonomy in the way of strong coactivity with others entities to make the emergence of a coherent general state of the complete system. The paper focus on the architecture of a self adaptive system based on massive multi agent systems. The system allows the monitoring and on-line restructuring thanks to ontology. It is dedicated to a complex...
An agent in a cooperative system is convinced that other agents will take actions toward the same goal of maximizing the global utility. In contrast, a self interested agent needs to consider every possible course of action other agents may take. Our aim in this paper is to define a simple, extendible, and formal framework for multi agent cooperation, over which businesses may build their business...
The maritime container shipping industry derives significant efficiency by utilizing standard sized containers to ship goods all over the world. The standard size facilitates the use of equipment and procedures optimized for the containers. Due to the importance of the cargo, the security of the containers is extremely important. In this paper, a system is described to enhance the monitoring of the...
Peer-to-peer networks have been used efficiently as building blocks for large-scale distributed network applications in wired networks. With large scale wireless sensor networks becoming even more realistic, it is pertinent to build distributed network applications in WSNs as well. In this paper, we extend the peer-to-peer overlayed network to provide a platform for different distributed applications...
Cargo container shipping is a multi-billion dollar industry that involves hundreds of ships and millions of containers. These containers are typically sealed after they are loaded and remain sealed until they reach their final destination. An efficient and cost-effective method to ensure that container breaches are reported in a timely manner is needed. Using current off-the-shelf wireless technology...
Multi-agent simulation has been looked as an efficient tool for urban dynamic traffic services. However, the main problem is how to build an agent-based model for it. This research presents a multi-agent based demand responsive transport (DRT) services model, which adopts a practical multi-agents planning approach for urban DRT services control that satisfies the main constraints: minimize total slack...
This research presents a multi-agent based urban demand responsive transport (DRT) system intelligent control model, which adopts a practical multi-agents planning approach for urban DRT services control that satisfies the main constraints: minimize total slack time, travel time, waiting time, clientpsilas special requests, and using minimum number of vehicle. In this paper, we propose an agent based...
In this paper we introduce distributed multiagent simulation and recall some solutions based on HLA protocol. We make a short presentation of peer-to- peer systems. We highlight the architecture of a distributed multiagent system based on a peer-to-peer model. We present some preliminary experimental results to show the performance of this architecture running a distributed version of ants model....
To improve collaborative jobs in peer-to-peer networks, we introduce a "JobPeerGroup". We need such a peer group to have more homogeneous peers able to distribute synchronous or asynchronous collaborative applications. To insure a better robustness, reliability and calculations time, the different peers belonging to this group are chosen by a selective way. In this paper we present the fundamental...
