Managing a Cloud for Multi-agent Systems on Ad-Hoc Networks
Subhajit Sidhanta, Supratik Mukhopadhyay · 2012
We present a novel execution environment for multi-agent systems building on concepts from cloud computing and peer-to-peer networks. The novel environment can provide the computing power of a cloud for multi-agent systems in intermittently connected networks. We present the design and implementation of a prototype operating system for managing the environment. The operating system provides the user with a consistent view of a single machine, a single file system, and a unified programming model while providing elasticity and availability.
