A Unified Distributed Computing Framework with Mobile Multi-Agent Systems and Virtual Machines for Large-Scale Applications: From the Internet-of-Things to Sensor Clouds

A novel and unified design approach for reliable distributed and parallel data processing in wide-area and large- scale networks consisting of high- and of low-resource nodes (ranging from generic computers to microchips) using mobile agents is introduced. The development of sensor clouds of the future integrated in daily use computing environments and the Internet is enabled. Agents can migrate between different hard- ware and software...
