Abstract

A multi-MA (mobile agents) cooperative system leads to flexible and efficient solutions for distributed systems, but a lot of research is not suitable for dynamic network environments. Based on the modeling of the multi-MA cooperative system and analysis of MA behavior, we present some new ideas and a theoretic model on fuzzy knowledge representation and exchange, in which some key problems such as fuzzy belief composition and contradiction coordination are solved. With the help of simulation experiments on dynamic network topology discovery, we prove the model´s availability and efficiency
