Intelligent Mobile Agents in Peer-to-Peer Networks

Organizer: Dr. Ing. Jorge Marx Gómez

This workshop deals with the requirements and possible conceptions of frameworks and applications, which provide a platform and starting point for the development of intelligent mobile agents in peer-to-peer networks, possibly combined with the emerging technology of webservices. Peer-to-Peer networks like Napster, Kazaa etc. have reached a widespread use in the Internet. By deploying intelligent mobile agents, who can travel between network nodes, to a large P2P-network one could embrace the peer-to-peer technology and use it for all kind of services like anonymizing network traffic, distributed storage of documents, for replicating contents of heavily accessed Internet sites, trading of information, more intelligent information retrival etc. For many of these things there are single and simple solutions available but by using a common approach there might be the opportunity to access all kinds of information through a unified way which guarantees extensibility and widespread use.
