El desarrollo de Sistemas Multi-agente es un problema complejo, su resolución generalmente involucra el análisis de problemas típicos de sistemas distribuidos, con entidades (agentes) que negocian, tienen la capacidad de aprendizaje, etc. Las soluciones existentes van desde desarrollos de cero…

El proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de los cursos iniciales de nivel superior que tienen por objeto introducir al estudiante en el diseño e implementación de algoritmos, puede ser favorecido mediante el uso de herramientas específicas que den soporten tanto…

Este documento tem por objetivo apresentar a tecnologia de reflexão existente na linguagem JAVA. Esta exposição será realizada a partir de uma implementação real de uma classe Java que fornece a funcionalidade de mapeamento entre objetos de um programa computacional…

Authentication techniques for a large-scale network are essential for the booming applications of e-commerce and e-business. In this thesis, authentication techniques for a larger-scale network are discussed. In-deep discussions on the independent path technique are presented. An authentication protocol based…

In the context of an object-oriented programming language such as Java, the ubiquitous use of instance fields and the presence of pointers (references to objects) make it difficult to understand a program's memory usage. Understanding memory usage is a key…

This paper describes an desktop application framework to be used with the Java Swing API. The goal of this framework is to promote the decoupling between the Frames and its actions, turning up the modularity of desktop application systems and…

Currently, the telecommunications management systems are powerful, however, maintain centralized and proprietary platforms, limiting this way, the growth of these telecommunications networks. This factor generates the need for scalable and open systems, stimulating the sectors of the telecommunications area to…

Mobile agents are often described as a promising technology moving towards the vision of a widely distributed scalable electronic market. The deployment of electronic services, especially in the area of electronic commerce, raises essential questions closely related to security issues.…

Virtual method calls are a fundamental feature offered by Java, an object-oriented programming language. However, they are also a source of degradation of performance at run time and imprecision in interprocedural analyses. There are several well known, inexpensive analyses that…
