Translating Mobile Ambients into P Systems

We present a translation of the mobile ambients without communication and replication into P systems with mobile membranes. We introduce a set of developmental rules over membranes, and describe the correspondence between the behaviour of an ambient and the evolution of its translated membrane system. We give an operational correspondence result between the mobile ambients and P systems.     

Lattice based communication P systems with applications in cluster analysis

Membrane computing is widely used in many areas, however, there are several limitations in its structures and rules. Although many researchers are engaged in the study of P systems, seldom focus on improving membrane structures. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new kind of communication P system on lattice (LTC-P systems). We describe membrane structures on lattice with communication rules. The computational completeness of the new P system is proved by simulation of register machine. The new P system is used in solving clustering problems. It is combined with the thought of density-based, partition-based and hierarchical clustering algorithm. Clustering is implemented by supremum and infimum rules. The result is obtained through output membrane. All the processes are conducted in membranes. Cluster result via a \(20\) points data set verifies that the proposed new P systems cluster data set accurately and reduce time complexity. Wine data set are also used in testing the influence of parameters. More suitable \(\varepsilon \) and \({ MinPts}\) are found to gain less missing data which are seen as noise. Comparative results in various aspects indicate LTC-P system based clustering algorithm consumes less time than traditional algorithms significantly. It also uses less rules and gives more simple membrane structures than conventional cell-like P system. The new P system provides an alternative for traditional membrane computing.

A system for self-diagnosis of an autonomous mobile robot using an internal state sensory system: fault detection and coping with the internal condition

Considering that intelligent robotic systems work in a real environment, it is important that they themselves have the ability to determine their own internal conditions. Therefore, we consider it necessary to pay some attention to the diagnosis of such intelligent systems and to construct a system for the self-diagnosis of an autonomous mobile robot. Autonomous mobile systems must have a self-contained diagnostic system and therefore there are restrictions to building such a system on a mobile robot. In this paper, we describe an internal state sensory system and a method for diagnosing conditions in an autonomous mobile robot. The prototype of our internal sensory system consists of voltage sensors, current sensors and encoders. We show experimental results of the diagnosis using an omnidirectional mobile robot and the developed system. Also, we propose a method that is able to cope with the internal condition using internal sensory information. We focus on the functional units in a single robot system and also examine a method in which the faulty condition is categorized into three levels. The measures taken to cope with the faulty condition are set for each level to enable the robot to continue to execute the task. We show experimental results using an omnidirectional mobile robot with a self-diagnosis system and our proposed method.     

A Petri net model for membrane systems with dynamic structure

We consider membrane systems with dissolving and thickening reaction rules. Application of these rules entails a dynamical change in the structure of a system during its evolution. First we provide a precise operational model for these dynamic membrane systems in which also promoter and inhibitor rules may occur. Next we describe a translation into behaviourally equivalent Petri nets with localities and range arcs.

Integrating mobile agents into the mobile middleware

Mobile agents are a new paradigm for distributed computing that is especially well suited for mobile computing over global wireless networks. This paper describes the approach taken in the ACTS On TheMove project to integrate a mobile agent system into the Mobile Application Support Environment (MASE), a middleware for mobile computing. In this project, an existing mobile agent system was adapted for the requirements of mobile computing. We present the changes that had to be made to the agent system to adapt it to the wireless communication. We also present some of the application areas where a mobile agent system is suitable for mobile communication. We describe an agent based pre-fetcher application where an agent operaes disconnected from the user on the fixed network and prepares web pages for the anticipated next connection of the user using the Quality-of-Service trading functions available in MASE.

决策演化集的膜结构

决策演化集是处理决策规则在时间序列上演化问题的理论,它将着眼点从静态决策信息系统转移到动态时间序列上，研究决策信息系统随时间变化的演化规律，是一种新的决策规则研究方法。目前，在决策演化集的标准结构下，其定义的演化轨迹是一个很难描绘的n维空间图形，所以本文提出了膜结构重新描述决策演化集，在膜结构下,被约简掉的属性同样会获得重视。在当时间从ti-1进入ti时，属性根据自身对决策的影响而进入不同的膜，同时所产生的数据流动也被标记出来,从而解决了决策信息系统演化轨迹具象化的问题，并通过实例演示了决策信息系统的演化过程和轨迹。     

IFS与L系统的统一描述语言及其分类

为了更高效地表示分形图形,依据形式语言的文法结构及正则表达式的文法规则,通过引入代数运算,提出了一个能够对L系统和迭代函数系统(IFS)统一描述的语言代数系统。根据语言代数系统产生式的文法规则,将此系统的产生式集划分为五类。结合分形理论,此语言代数系统着重将DOL系统、迭代函数系统(IFS)、带凝聚集迭代函数系统(凝聚IFS)、随机迭代函数系统(IFSP)和再归迭代函数系统(RIFS)等进行描述,同时用此系统的正则表达式方程解将分形吸引子进行代数表示,并给出一些实例。通过实例表明,分形图形可以用该语言代数系统简单、明了、高效地表示。     

P systems with control nuclei: The concept

We describe an extension of P systems where each membrane has an associated control nucleus responsible with the generation of the rules to be applied in that membrane. The nucleus exports a set of rules which are applied in the membrane region (only for one step, but in the usual maximal-parallel way), then the rules are removed and a new iteration of this process takes place. This way, powerful control mechanisms may be included in P systems themselves, as opposed to using the level of “strategies” previously exploited for simulating P systems. The nuclei may contain general programs for generating rules, ranging from those using information on the full system, to more restricted programs where only local information in the nuclei themselves and the associated membranes is used. The latter approach, mixed with a particular mechanism for the representation of the control programs, the rules, and the export procedure is powerful enough for modeling complex biological applications, e.g., to develop a detailed model for cell growth and division in normal and abnormal (tumoral) evolution of biological systems.

Computing by Floating Strings

We propose a biologically inspired system which computes on double structures of mobile strings by means of rewriting rules that have a biotechnological implementation, by resembling DNA computations. Its computational universality may be straight deduced from a few formal language theoretical results of one of the authors. Such a DNA-like computational device is naturally described by a membrane system which concludes the paper.     

Learning social behavior

This paper discusses the challenges of learning to behave socially in the dynamic, noisy, situated and embodied mobile multi-robot domain. Using the methodology for synthesizing basis behaviors as a substrate for generating a large repertoire of higher-level group interactions, in this paper we describe how, given the substrate, greedy agents can learn social rules that benefit the group as a whole. We describe three sources of reinforcement and show their effectiveness in learning non-greedy social rules. We then demonstrate the learning approach on a group of four mobile robots learning to yield and share information in a foraging task.     

Implementation of an intelligent personalized digital library system based on improved negotiation mobile multiagents

There are several problems in searching the database of an existing digital library. To overcome some problems, I propose a new platform of mobile multiagents for a personal digital library. To develop a new platform, I propose a distributed mobile multiagent framework (DMMAF) agent. For the higher relationships among searched documents from mobile servers, an unsupervized neural network is applied. For the user's preference, some modular clients are applied to a neural network. A multiagent platform and a mobile agent platform are combined to develop a new mobile multiagent platform so as to decrease the network burden. A new negotiation algorithm and a scheduling algorithm are also activated for the effectiveness of the personal digital library system (PDLS). PDLS is a more intelligent system capable of establishing a database in the computer by learning the interests of users. We tried to set up the theoretical structure of the multimobile agents, and develop an algorithm for a modified intelligent negotiation agent for inducing interaction among multiagents. This work was presented in part at the 11th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 23–25, 2006     

MobileTrust: a trust enhanced security architecture for mobile agent systems

While offering many practical benefits for distributed applications, mobile agent systems pose some fundamental security challenges. In this paper, we present a new approach to mobile agent security which helps to address some of these challenges. We present a new technique, which we refer to as trust enhanced security, and apply it to mobile agent-based systems; this new technique advocates a shift in security solutions from security-centric to trust-centric. This extends the traditional security mechanisms by enabling trust decisions through explicit specification and management of security-related trust relationships. The integration of the trust decisions into security decision-making process leads to our trust enhanced security performance. A formal trust model is proposed and is incorporated into the development of a novel trust management architecture—MobileTrust for mobile agent-based applications. We have conducted detailed practical investigations to evaluate and validate the emergent properties of the trust enhanced security technique. We present and discuss the key results in this paper.     

Autonomous Exploring System Based on Ultrasonic Sensory Information

An autonomous exploring system for a mobile robot is presented in this article. The system consists of an ultrasonic range sensor (URS) module and a novel method for building a map from exploration of an environment. Instead of random exploration, the proposed approach provides a systematic and efficient strategy to build the map by means of some preferential points. Taking a multitude of observations or measurements by sonar sensors, a mobile robot derives a virtual polygonal map from a set of regressed segments, partial prior known environmental information, and some inference rules for vertices. Additionally, the concept of safe zones is also introduced in the system to keep the mobile robot safe during exploration. Based on the identified virtual map, a searching method is used to select a next best observation to collect the most sufficient information. Several experiments are given to demonstrate the performance of this proposed approach.     

Construction of an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot Platform Based on Active Dual-Wheel Caster Mechanisms and Development of a Control Simulator

In this paper, we describe a new type of holonomic and omnidirectional mobile robot using two driving assemblies, one of which consists of two independent driving wheel mechanisms, just like an active dual-wheel caster with an offset steered axis. Kinematic models of the wheel mechanism and a mobile robot with two driving assemblies are derived, and these models are applied to construct a feedback control system based on a resolved velocity control system for the robot. The effectiveness of the presented method is illustrated by some computer simulations. The prototype of a mobile robot platform using two driving assemblies, which can be controlled by a personal computer or a 3D joystick manipulated by human, is constructed.
