Abstract

In this paper we provide a formal definition of the component concept using the Heterogeneous Flow Systems Specification formalism (HFFS) a general system theory approach to the representation of timed systems. The HFFS formalism permits the development of hierarchical and modular components whose structure evolves over time. HFSS mobile components, a particular form of structural evolution, can represent mobile entities that exist in many systems like, for example, mobile communication devices and mobile software agents. The formal description is used to model a simple control application, based on mobile software agents, where a mobile hybrid component acts as a digital controller, allowing the runtime update of the control system of a vehicle.

Collaboration among mobile agents for efficient energy allocation in mobile grid

The use of mobile devices in grid environments may have two interaction aspects: devices are considered as users of grid resources or as grid resources providers. Due to the limitation constraints on energy and processing capacity of mobile devices, ...
