Recently, there are many researchers to design Bayesian network structures using evolutionary algorithms but most of them use the only one fittest solution in the last generation. ...
This work describes a system that allocates end-to-end bandwidth, in a switched meshed communications network. The solution makes use of market-based software agents that compete ...
We discuss how mobile agents, moving in the Internet from node to node, can communicate with each other by forwarding messages in a robust way. As a solution, we present the genera...
