This paper examines how methods inspired by biological processes can be applied to the design of large-scale environment-aware sensor networks. Our ultimate goal are systems conta...
The power consumption of peripheral devices is a significant portion of the overall energy usage of a mobile platform. To take advantage of idle times, most devices offer the abi...
Traditionally, top-down and bottom-up design approaches have competed with each other in Algorithmics and Software Engineering. In the top-down approach, design process starts wit...
We are concerned with the use of Mobile Agents for information retrieval. A multi-agent system is considered; a number of agents are involved in a collective effort to retrieve di...
: In this paper, we propose an MDA based approach for developing multi-agent systems. MDA specifies a structured software development process divided in modeling stages. In the PIM...
