Abstract:
This chapter presents and analyzes basic concepts and models of distributed computing with mobile agents. What are mobile agents? In which applications can they be used and what are their advantages over more conventional approaches involving nodes that exchange messages? What are the communication models of mobile agents? What are the timing models in distributed networks? How is the complexity of distributed algorithms defined and what are the goods (e.g., time, memory, agents' knowledge of the network, computing power, and agents' capabilities) that we are interested in minimizing? Local knowledge and common knowledge of network properties. Message exchange and agent communication mechanisms. Reference to basic problems. Security issues in distributed computing.
