Many documented instances of existing research on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) use deployments that either fall short of, or barely meet, the resource requirements of the application. In this paper, it is envisaged that ...
Intelligent User Interfaces represent one of the three distinguishing characteristics of AmI environments. Such interfaces are envisaged as mediating between the services available in an arbitrary physical environment and ...
This paper describes an entry to the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2008. The approach employs the pre-existing Agent Factory framework and extends this framework in line with experience gained from its use within the ...
Decision-making is a complex and demanding process often constrained in a number of possibly conflicting dimensions including quality, responsiveness and cost. This paper considers in situ decision making whereby decisions ...
The number of active nodes in a WSN deployment
governs both the longevity of the network and the accuracy
of applications using the network’s data. As node
hibernation techniques become more sophistocated, it
is important ...
Agent Factory is a cohesive framework for the development and
deployment of multi-agent systems. Since its inception in the mid 1990s,
Agent Factory has gone through a metamorphosis process, whereby several
new extensions, ...
Intelligent agents offer a viable paradigm for enabling
AmI applications and services. As WSN technologies
are anticipated to provide an indispensable component in
many application domains, the need for enabling the ...
Classic computing systems are characterised by heterogeneity, with its inherent advantages and disadvantages. This
raises a number of difficulties for software engineers. The vision offered by a mix-and-match approach is ...
