ActorNet: An Actor Platform for Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview This paper presents actorNet, a mobile agent platform for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSNs are well-suited to multi-agent systems: agent autonomy reduces the need for communication, saving precious energy. Mobile agents are also an intuitive technique for remotely reprogramming sensors deployed in the field. However, implementing agent programs directly on a WSN is complicated by the many limitations of sensor nodes, including limited memory, slow processors, low bandwidth and finite energy. ActorNet eases development by providing an abstract environment for lightweight concurrent object-oriented mobile code on WSNs.

It's another Microsoft security threat

Increasing the size of the lookup tables reduces the amount of time, on average, that it takes to search for a password. Oechslin outlined a way to take advantage of that lack of randomness on Tuesday when he published a paper and a web...

IP poised to storm the call centre

In the mature US and UK markets, the effects of offshoring and saturation at the high end mean that call centres in the sub-100 agent size-bracket are the areas most likely to experience any significant growth in IP usage at present.

Google open sources data-moving tool

But JSON, like XML, is a human-readable text format, rather than a binary format such as Protocol Buffers, a fact that reduces JSON's efficiency, Google said. Various other methods exist for passing encoded data over networks but Google found none...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
