We advocate the use of agents to model a system that allows us to integrate and protect information stored in both mobile and fixed devices, while trying to preserve a consistent a...
Abstract. Agent-oriented modelling of software systems and agent-based simulation are commonly viewed as two separate fields with different concepts and techniques. We show that th...
Software agents are one of the building blocks of ambient intelligence and pervasive computing. Adaptation to changes in the execution context is necessary in order to provide cont...
The growth of the Internet has led to new avenues for distance education. A crucial factor for the success of distance education is effective mechanisms for distance evaluation. E...
Parallel computing has become an important research field in the last years. The availability of hardware and the success of grid computing have motivated this interest. In this pa...
