Development of agent-based system for monitoring software resources in a network environment

Abstract: Mobile agent is becoming an emerging tool for monitoring and managing computer networks. Its usefulness in this regard emanates from its ability to communicate with other agents and devices, and navigate a computer network to collect data and take actions autonomously. In this research, an investigation of the use of an agent-based system to monitor the software tools on the nodes of a computer network is carried out. The proposed framework adopts a multi-agent system approach combining a static server agent with a mobile monitor agent which move around and extract data from each node via the server agent. The system was tested in a computer network environment which is characterized by a Windows NT. The programming and mobility infrastructure is the C\#, an object-oriented and multifunctional programming scheme. The performance of the proposed agent-based system and Remote MONitoring (RMON) system are simulated and the results obtained show the cost of service, query time and delay overhead is lower in the agent-based system than that of RMON.

Mobile operating systems

Abstract: Mobile operating systems are a relatively new development in the computing world. Mostly they are based on some existing older OS, typically written for stationary computers and laptops. For example, Android is based on the Linux kernel, iOS on the Mac OS X kernel, and Windows Phone on the Windows NT kernel. The mobile OS borrows many features from the desktop world; however, it needs to meet the demands of the mobile environment for communication needs, positioning of the device, power challenges caused by mobile operation with rechargeable batteries, and smaller size for the convenience and comfort of users. The OS is responsible for overseeing and managing the hardware and software components on the smartphone and it is responsible for the system-level power management. In this chapter, we examine four current state-of-the-art smartphone OSs – iOS, Windows Phone, Firefox OS, and Android – as well as a number of energy-conserving research prototypes. We focus on the current generation of mobile OSs given our focus on smartphones. Classical examples of earlier feature phone OSs include the Symbian OS and Windows Mobile [1]. After examining the four smartphone OSs, we compare their features and properties. Overview Power management is an integral part of an OS that operates on multiple levels from drivers to applications. As the functionalities and features of mobile devices are constantly growing so is the demand for power.

Windows xp: exploiting through linux

Abstract: An operating system is a program that manages the computer hardware. It also provides a basis for application program and acts as an inter-mediatory between the user of a computer and the computer hardware. An amazing aspect of a operating system is how varied they are in accomplishing these tasks. Mainframe operating systems are designed primarily to optimize utilization of hardware. Personal computer (PC) operating systems support complex games, business applications and everything in between . Handheld computer operating systems are designed to provide an environment in which a user can easily interface with the computer to execute programs. Thus , some operating systems are designed to be convenient , others to be efficient and others some combination of two. The Microsoft windows XP operating systems is a 32/64-bit preemptive multitasking operating systems for AMD K6/K7, Intel IA32/IA64 and later micro-processors. The successors to Windows XP are also intended to replace the windows 95/98 operating systems. Linux is another operating system , another UNIX-like system That has gained popularity in recent years. It has been designed to run as many standard UNIX applications as possible.
