A Guiding Agent: smart dynamic technology for solving distributed problems.

Mobile technology is everywhere nowadays in the developed world. This technology is mature enough to support intelligent applications and smart devices. Over the last few years we have developed a number of applications for PDAs and Mobile phones. This abstract outlines an information system that incorporate a recommender agent that helps the users of a shopping centre to identify offers, to find people or to define a plan which in the shopping centre for a day. The multiagent architecture incorporates a smart deliberative agent that take decisions with the help of casebased planners. The system that uses past experiences to recommend future actions has been tested successfully

Hybrid Multi Agent-Neural Network Intrusion Detection with Mobile Visualization

A multiagent system that incorporates an Artificial Neural Networks based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has been defined to guaranty an efficient computer network security architecture. The proposed system facilitates the intrusion detection in dynamic networks. This paper presents the structure of the Mobile Visualization Connectionist Agent-Based IDS, more flexible and adaptable. The proposed improvement of the system in this paper includes deliberative agents that use the artificial neural network to identify intrusions in computer networks. The agent based system has been probed through anomalous situations related to the Simple Network Management Protocol

Deliberative Agents for Intrusion Detection.

This work describes a multiagent system incorporating some artificial intelligence techniques for intrusion detection. The proposed Intrusion Detection System (IDS) provides a network administrator with a comprehensive visualization of the network traffic. Thus, the network manager can supervise the network activity and detect anomalies at a glance. This paper describes the structure of the Mobile Visualization Connectionist Agent-Based IDS (MOVICAB-IDS). The system includes deliberative agents using a connectionist model to identify intrusions in computer networks. Some experiments dealing with anomalous situations related to the Simple Network Management Protocol are described

Multi-agent neural business control system

Small to medium sized companies require a business control mechanism in order to monitor their modus operandi and analyse whether they are achieving their goals. A tool for the decision support process was developed based on a multi-agent system that incorporates a case-based reasoning system and automates the business control process. The case-based reasoning system automates the organization of cases and the retrieval stage by means of a Maximum Likelihood Hebbian Learning-based method, an extension of the Principal Component Analysis which groups similar cases by automatically identifying clusters in a data set in an unsupervised mode. The multi-agent system was tested with 22 small and medium sized companies in the textile sector located in the northwest of Spain during 29 months, and the results obtained have been very satisfactory

A multi-agent system for web-based risk management in small and medium business

Business Intelligence has gained relevance during the last years to improve business decision making. However, there is still a growing need of developing innovative tools that can help small to medium sized enterprises to predict risky situations and manage inefficient activities. This article present a multi-agent system especially created to detect risky situations and provide recommendations to the internal auditors of SMEs. The core of the multi-agent system is a type of agent with advanced capacities for reasoning to make predictions based on previous experiences. This agent type is used to implement a evaluator agent specialized in detect risky situations and an advisor agent aimed at providing decision support facilities. Both agents incorporate innovative techniques in the stages of the CBR system. An initial prototype was developed and the results obtained related to small and medium enterprises in a real scenario are presented

Design of Cooperative Agents for Mobile Devices

The paper presents an agent-based engineering system developed for mobile devices. The proposed system has been used for constructing a wireless tourist guide application that incorporates cooperative agents with the learning capabilities. It is shown how to construct cooperative agents with a goal driven design using a case-based reasoning methodology. The resulting architecture has been tested by real users during six months and the results obtained are here presented
