COMPUTATIONAL MEDIA FOR MOBILE AGENTS FOR MAS737: SOFTWARE AGENTS SEMINAR (2007)
Exploration of issues of using mobile agents to access computational resources distributed on the Internet. The design of mobile agent systems in which no central controller orchestrates computations...
Marketplaces are an important system in our society. The marketplace is the embodiment of a society's economy, a system whereby objects exchange hands. Marketplaces are also an important social...
Moore, Cristopher, Nordahl, Mats G., Minar, Nelson, Shalizi, Cosma
We study the dynamics of topological defects in the triangular Ising antiferromagnet, a related model on the square lattice equivalent to the six-vertex ice model, and the three-state...
Cooperating mobile agents for dynamic network routing (1999)
Nelson Minar, Kwindla Hultman, Kramer Pattie Maes
Contemporary computer networks are heterogeneous; even a single network consists of many kinds of processors and communications channels. Networks are also inherently decentralized; capability is...
A Survey of the NTP Network (1999)
The Network Time Protocol creates a network of hosts on the Internet that synchronize time. This paper describes the methods and results of a survey of the NTP network conducted by a “spider ”...
Wearable computing meets ubiquitous computing: Reaping the best of both worlds (1999)
Bradley J. Rhodes, Nelson Minar, Josh Weaver
This paper describes what we see as fundamental difficulties in both the pure ubiquitous computing and pure wearable computing paradigms when applied to context-aware applications. In particular,...
