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.

Gates: 'My work here is not yet done'

If, say, you have an hour free on your schedule, Akers said Gates believes an intelligent agent should be able to look at your calendar and prioritise some of the top tasks and messages that you might want to tackle.

IBM smashes the supercomputing petaflop

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
