Deception in Networks of Mobile Sensing Agents

by Viliam Lisý, Roie Zivan, Katia Sycara, Michal Pěchouček
"... Recent studies have investigated how a team of mobile sensors can cope with real world constraints, such as uncertainty in the reward functions, dynamically appearing and disappearing targets, technology failures end changes in the environment conditions. In this study we consider an additional elem ..."

represent a Mobile Sensor Team problem using the Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) framework. We propose an optimal method for the selection of a position of a single agent facing a deceptive adversary. This method serves as a heuristic for agents to select their position in a full scale

Coverage Control for Mobile Sensing Networks

by Jorge Cortes, Sonia Martínez, Timur Karatas, Francesco Bullo , 2002
"... This paper presents control and coordination algorithms for groups of vehicles. The focus is on autonomous vehicle networks performing distributed sensing tasks where each vehicle plays the role of a mobile tunable sensor. The paper proposes gradient descent algorithms for a class of utility functio ..."

A message ferrying approach for data delivery in sparse mobile ad hoc networks

by Wenrui Zhao, Mostafa Ammar, Ellen Zegura - In Proc. of ACM Mobihoc , 2004
"... Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) provide rapidly deployable and self-configuring network capacity required in many critical applications, e.g., battlefields, disaster relief and wide area sensing. In this paper we study the problem of efficient data delivery in sparse MANETs where network partitions ..."

A Key-Management Scheme for Distributed Sensor Networks

by Laurent Eschenauer, Virgil D. Gligor - In Proceedings of the 9th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security , 2002
"... Distributed Sensor Networks (DSNs) are ad-hoc mobile networks that include sensor nodes with limited computation and communication capabilities. DSNs are dynamic in the sense that they allow addition and deletion of sensor nodes after deployment to grow the network or replace failing and unreliable ..."

Data mules: Modeling a three-tier architecture for sparse sensor networks

by Rahul C. Shah, Sumit Roy, Sushant Jain, Waylon Brunette - IN IEEE SNPA WORKSHOP , 2003
"... Abstract — This paper presents and analyzes an architecture that exploits the serendipitous movement of mobile agents in an environment to collect sensor data in sparse sensor networks. The mobile entities, called MULEs, pick up data from sensors when in close range, buffer it, and drop off the data ..."

Mobile Agents: Are They a Good Idea?

by David Chess, Colin Harrison, Aaron Kershenbaum, T. J. Watson , 1995
"... Mobile agents are programs, typically written in a script language, which may be dispatched from a client computer and transported to a remote server computer for execution. Several authors have suggested that mobile agents offer an important new method of performing transactions and information ret ..."

We consider the advantages offered by mobile agents and assess them against alternate methods of achieving the same function. We conclude that, while the individual advantages of agents

Mobile Sensor Network Deployment using Potential Fields: A Distributed, Scalable Solution to the Area Coverage Problem

by Andrew Howard, Maja J Mataric, Gaurav S Sukhatme , 2002
"... This paper considers the problem of deploying a mobile sensor network in an unknown environment. A mobile sensor network is composed of a distributed collection of nodes, each of which has sensing, computation, communication and locomotion capabilities. Such networks are capable of self-deployment; ..."

A Calculus of Mobile Agents

by Cédric Fournet, Georges Gonthier, Jean-Jacques Lévy, Luc Maranget, Didier Rémy, Inria Rocquencourt , 1996
