Traditionally, distributed computing concentrates on computation understood at the level of information exchange and sets aside human and organizational concerns as largely to be handled in an ad hoc manner. Increasingly, however, distributed applications involve multiple loci of autonomy. Research in multiagent systems (MAS) addresses autonomy by drawing on concepts and techniques from artificial...
This paper presents the review of issues and challenges of forensic analysis to monitor agent behavior in Multi-agent systems from various different perspective. This includes a comprehensive study of existing forensic analysis framework available across literature. In addition, a critical study on forensic studies of Multi-agents systems is also presented. Finally, this paper presents the opportunities...
A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a legal contract between parties to ensure the Quality of Service (QoS). It specifies one or more service level objectives (SLO), to ensure that the QoS delivered has met customer expectations. However, It becomes hard to guarantee QoS levels and detect SLA violations. Therefore, we propose to use MDE (Model Driven Engineering) to express the SLA contract requirements...
In this paper, a communication-based fault detection and isolation strategy for multi-agent systems is proposed and all the fault processing operations are achieved by controlling the contents of communication. A fault detection scheme based on the gossip algorithm and status information exchange is introduced first. Then, a new fault isolation and recovery algorithm is designed to moderate its negative...
Agents intending to be involved in joint B2B operations need to rely on trust measures pointing to possible future solid and secure partnerships. Using Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) as a paradigm for an electronic institution framework enables both to simulate and facilitate the process of autonomous agents, as either enterprises or individual representatives, reaching joint agreements through automatic...
The ability to maintain state awareness in the face of unexpected and unmodeled errors and threats is a defining feature of a resilient control system. Therefore, in this paper, we study the problem of distributed fault detection and isolation (FDI) in large networked systems with uncertain system models. The linear networked system is composed of interconnected subsystems and may be represented as...
A new approach for the botnet detection based on multi-agent system is proposed. For increasing of the efficiency of botnet detection the multi-agent system was involved that allowed to make botnet detection via agents' communication within corporate network. A new technique with the usage of fuzzy and neural-fuzzy systems that makes the conclusion about botnet presence degree in computer systems...
The power systems of the future, commonly called ??smart grids??, represent several advancements to the system more reliable, able to perform new functions, appropriate to the current scenario where the use of renewable energy is mandatory, and the energy market is decentralized. This perspective, smart grids have many challenges in its design and development. For example, the creation of algorithms...
Natural multi-agent systems often rely on "correlated random walks" (random walks that are biased toward a current heading) to distribute their agents over a space (e.g., for foraging, search, etc.) Our contribution involves creation of a new movement and pheromone model that applies the concept of heading bias in random walks to a multi-agent, digital-ants system designed for cyber-security...
With the development of informationization in different application fields, establishment of the complex cooperative human-computer cooperative information system has become the focus now. The key to the problem is to build corresponding complex cooperative problem solving model. The blackboard model based on agent group is an efficient technique to build the model of certain types of complex cooperative...
The software on the internet called internet ware is increasing rapidly. The internet ware has the characteristics of self-adaptation, dynamic collaboration, open, online evolution and environment-awareness. As the composite element, autonomous component should have the self-decision capability to support self-management. This paper proposed an autonomous component entity by extending BDI agent model...
To solve the problems of software testing automation,such as poor scalability, compatibility and other problems, this paper puts forward a automated performance testing framework based on ontology and multi-Agent. An extensible BDI Agent model is the core part of this framework. The dynamic loading in BDI Agent improves the inclusiveness and expansibility of automatic test. On this basis, a software...
The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of trust and reputation in communities of practice and to describe a theoretical framework for the organization of communities of practice in a dynamic perspective. The inter-organizational behavior of communities of practice members has been researched and formalized using agent-based representation. We have proposed an adapted agent-based model...
This position paper explores the possibility of building autonomic systems using super-agents, virtual organizations of one or more agents that seek to govern a complex resource. The paper discusses first a control-loop suitable for building self-governed agents as an attempt to extend the original idea of autonomic managers with self-governance. It then sketches the structure of super-agents and...
In order to improve flexibility, concurrency, real-time, dynamic adaptability of CAPP system, we put forward Blackboard-based MAS-CAPP system architecture. The study discusses the construction of different Agents in the system, the operating mechanism among Agents when solving conflicts and the decision-making mathematical model of process decision-making Agent.
With the rapid advances in communication and networking, especially in Grid technique, an increasing number of applications will involve computing systems. This article focus that how to schedule system resources in reason and explore the dynamic scheduling method to the parallel tasks in the federation. According to task scheduling of content and objectives in the simulation grid, the HLA federate...
During the study of abnormal capital flow, people can not access to a real financial transaction data as a result of many factors, therefore this article took the ways of intelligent agent role simulation, designed an agent decision-making model to verify the data collected. And from different perspectives the visualization of supervision to capital abnormal flow can be achieved.
We present a multi-view three dimensional intelligent surveillance system. We use a multi-agent framework to identify the behaviors of individuals in the scene. Detection and interpretation are performed completely in 3D space. A moving train coach is monitored by eight fish-eye cameras. Segmentation masks extracted from the undistorted images are fed to a distributed 3D reconstruction algorithm producing...
Firstly, it discusses the main characteristic of workflow management system (WfMS) which is used to solve Web-based domain problem, then it put forward a collaborative control system structure including three key modules under cooperative network environment, named as domain process rule base (RB), workflow template base (WfTB) and workflow collaborative solving cooperator(WfCC) separately. Furthermore,...
Space applications demand the need for building reliable systems. Autonomic computing defines such reliable systems as self-managing systems. The work reported in this paper combines agent-based and swarm robotic approaches leading to swarm-array computing, a novel technique to achieve self-managing distributed parallel computing systems. Two swarm-array computing approaches based on swarms of computational...
